The Brew: Could the Badly Decided Obergefell Be Overturned? Newsweek Is Worried

[Michie]

All sorts of hills we decided not to fight on and surrendered to the enemies of faith and common sense now appear to be eligible for reconquest, thanks to President Donald Trump and his team. They ripped the lace curtains off our elites’ Overton Window, stripped off the prison bars, and smashed the jaundice-colored glass. Just three months ago, when I wrote that Trump should defund corrupt church nonprofits such as Catholic Charities, I thought I was whistling “Dixie,” building Minas Tirith in the air.

Then boom! Trump issued an executive order defunding church groups that traffic immigrants — and lazy Marxists by the hundreds are now streaming out of church-owned buildings with their Swingline staplers in cardboard boxes, looking at the job postings boards at their local Cracker Barrels.

For years, The Stream has been reprinting articles from the heroic activists at MassResistance who never accepted the tortured logic of Obergefell v. Hodge, which tyrannically redefined the most basic institution of human life; even Chief Justice John Roberts predicted it would lead to lawfare targeting Christians. As of course it did, with wedding planners, photographers, bakers, and other professionals hunted by LGBTQ tort attorneys across the country.

The MassResistance folks, whom CPAC banned from its conference because it offended the Log Cabin Republicans, never gave up. They’ve been sponsoring resolutions in state legislatures calling for that bad legal decision to join the same medical waste bin where Roe v. Wade’s remains now molder, and we’ve been reporting on their efforts.

Now Newsweek is taking note — and urging panic. It reports:

The impossible suddenly seems ... attainable, in this new political era. Could the bad Obergefell decision fall next?

The faulty logic of Roe, so faulty that justice Ginsburg could see it, is at the core of Obergefell. The lacunae and penumbras surrounding a lacking 'right to privacy' really do not add up to a logical case for homosexual marriage. Roe fell, rightly so, because it was mush. So is Obergefell for the same reasons. So in a logical world it would fall too. As would the earlier Griswold decision allowing for contraceptive sales. The left wingers have some basis of a reason to be afraid because these things all have the same logical flaw. In a logical world their fears would be realized. Lucky for them we live in an emotive world and not a logical world.

Would Trump be able to appoint a few more good Supreme Court judges, or maybe in four years might Vance be able to? One can hope. But are we up to the continual culture wars, or are we seeking to concede before entering those battles? I think it's all but conceded already. I never conceded though.

I sure hope so!
