Somehow, I doubt this has anything to do with it being a case on same sex marriage. The original case was a question of whether Davis was in the wrong for refusing to issue them due to personal belief (and something about 1st amendment rights for government employees). I genuinely doubt the conservative justices give a rat’s ass about anyone but straight men considering past rulings.

Overturning that ruling would essentially mean, from my understanding, that government employees can refuse to do work that they disagree with even if it violates the rights of others. This specific case was about religion, but I could see this extending to refusing to issue marriage licenses to Rs/Ds, or refusing to issue marriage licenses to Muslim people, or even refusing to issue state IDs to women.

Of course, had this gone to the supreme court, the justices could have just said “yeah we don’t like gay people now so we’re going to strip them of their rights” since that’s what the conservative justices seem to be interested in doing these days.

Anyway, sounds like we’re safe for now, but that this was even a question shows how fucked up the country is.
