🧐🤔 I wonder why this ultra conservative SC isn't going after interracial marriage..?

No I don’t really.

Too bad we can’t make them take that up first.

1. They don't pick what topics they get

It all begins with a lawsuit. No lawsuit. No changes:

2. The problem is exceptions. We have exceptions to every rule.

Two instantly come to mind: 1.)Clarence, 2.)Ginni.

3. No case has come before it

They need a case to decide - expect something to happen when one arises.

4. Cases decided on different legal theories / foundations

Roe, Griswold, and Obergefell were all substantive due process cases. Loving v. Virginia is an equal protection / due process case. The difference may seem like minutiae but when it comes to these decisions, minutiae can make a chasm of difference.

Thankfully, only Thomas has vocalized his support for overturning Griswold and Obergefell. Hopefully the other radical right wing extremist Judges don’t join him.

5. That's not how the Supreme Court works. nt
