I guess Clarence Thomas thinks this will take the attention away from the

damage Ginniy has done to democracy. He seems giddy and ready to attack other rights of individuals. For the majority of his tenure on the court, we have barely had a word from him. Now, he is vocal and ready to change LGBQT rights. Will he attack his interracial marriage?

These laws are for the rest of us. Not them.

They will have security forces to protect them from gun violence. The women in their circles will still get abortions. They all have great incomes, pensions, healthcare.

They live in a rarified bubble of wealth and privilege.

Will the red states/rabid right attack his interracial marriage? His fatal mistake may very well turn out to be he thinks they will be loyal to him. What happens if it's challenged and the WHITE majority decided to overturn it? He wouldn't be able to stop it, even with the liberal justices voting with him. He's in quite the precarious position.

It will be grandfathered in.

You know - I'm mixed and married to an Italian. He doesn't have any children with his second wife.

I would be they would go after the legitimacy language in Loving.
