Pete Buttigieg says his 'marriage might depend on what is about to happen' in Amy Coney Barrett's

SCOTUS confirmation

Former Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg warned of the high stakes surrounding Judge Amy Coney Barrett's potential confirmation to the Supreme Court, including the marriage of LGBTQ couples.

In an interview on "Fox News Sunday," host Chris Wallace asked Buttigieg about Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's views on court-packing, the act of adding more justices to shift the ideological balance.

The former vice president said most recently on an ABC News town hall held this past week that "he is not a fan" of court-packing but will state his position before Election Day, depending on the confirmation process for Barrett.

Buttigieg on Sunday said his views supporting the expanding of the court "haven't changed," and pointed to the policies at play in Barrett's potential confirmation by the Senate.

Thomas and Alito have talked about repealing the decision. They'd need two more votes besides them and the handmaiden.

That's almost like saying that she's going to undo an abortion from ten years ago and give you a ten-year-old to raise.

In theory, a future marriage might be endangered, but I can't guess what type of case could cause an existing marriage to be undone.
