  >Thomas has already indicated he supports rolling back gay marriage etc. That is not exactly accurate. What Justice Thomas wrote was that cases setting precedence in the area of due process may need to be reconsidered due to the same shaky legal underpinning that Roe v. Wade sat on. It is the result of that revaluation that could impact Obergefel. Certainly, he could very well hold a negative opinion personally about gay marriage, but his suggestion could create issues for his own marriage legality as well. I am sure he is intelligent enough to realize this—which begs the question why would he suggest it if it could negatively impact him? I suspect that the answer may be that perhaps he feels it’s important to correct a legal error, so that subsequent judgements are stronger. He likely feels that congress should be creating the laws, as opposed to us relying on legal fiats. I know I agree with that. Congress has a duty to us set forth in Article 1…it’s time they started taking that seriously. If they did their jobs and wrote good laws, what we have seen in the last week is less likely to occur.

    Thomas doesn’t think his extremist peers would overturn loving. Unfortunately the vote the would seem to be 5-4.
