Clarence Thomas omitted the case that legalized interracial marriage after saying the courts should go after other right to privacy cases
What about this precedent on interracial marriage, Clarence?!! (Loving v. Virginia)
The Supreme Court on Friday overturned abortion rights established by Roe v. Wade.
Clarence Thomas said the court should "reconsider" rulings on same-sex marriage and relationships.
Jim Obergefell said Thomas omitted rulings on interracial marriage because it "affects him personally."
Jim Obergefell, the plaintiff behind the Supreme Court's landmark ruling on same-sex marriage, said Friday that Justice Clarence Thomas omitted Loving v. Virginia on his list of Supreme Court decisions to "reconsider" because it "affects him personally."
"That affects him personally, but he doesn't care about the LGBTQ+ community," Obergefell "The Reid Out."
In a 5-4 decision released Friday, the Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. The majority opinion argued that the 14th amendment, which prevents states from depriving citizens of "life, liberty, or property without the due process of law," does not protect the right to abortion.
In a concurring opinion following the ruling, Thomas wrote that "we should reconsider all of this Court's substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell."
These cases protect the right to contraceptive access, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage, respectively.
Loving v. Virginia, which protects the right to interracial marriage and also concerns the due process clause of the 14th amendment, was not a part of Thomas' list.
Thomas himself is in an interracial marriage with right-wing activist Ginni Thomas.
