With the Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade & abortion rights it’s time to acknowledge that the highest court has become the newest religious institution & not in a good way. This is going to take a huge toll on this country in every way possible. First of all we can no longer think that the highest court will ever rule again in a fair & equal manner. Justice Clarence Thomas has made it crystal clear of his next radical agenda stating, "In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence & Obergefell." Sarah Kate Ellis, President & CEO of GLAAD stated, "Thomas' concurrence is a blaring red alert for the LGBTQ community & for all Americans. We will never go back to the dark days of being shut out of hospital rooms, left off of death certificates, refused spousal benefits, or any of the other humiliations that took place in the years before Obergefell. And we definitely will not go back to the pre-Lawrence days of being criminalized just because we are LGBTQ. But that's exactly what Thomas is threatening to do to the country, even as support for marriage equality is at an all-time high of 71% & more Americans are coming out as LGBTQ with each generation. Between this threat & today's reversal of abortion rights, we can no longer trust that the Supreme Court is operating in the interests of the majority of Americans." If Justice Thomas goes after Obergefell & marriage equality I hope he also challenges Loving v. Virginia which will dissolve his own marriage.
