Defense of Marriage Amendment.
Article I section 15A is a stain on the Virginia Constitution. It especially doesn’t belong in Virginia’s Bill of Rights. It is more urgent now with the possibility it could become effective again.
Getting rid of an amendment is an arduous process but we need to get started.
Without reading the decision itself, I am glad to see this result.
My view is that the principle of separation of church and state does not require states or their agencies to avoid entanglement with religious practices. I see no Constitutional reason why there cannot be, for example, Catholic or even Muslim public schools, although I can imagine any number of social reasons why it might be best for schools to remain largely secular.

The writer explains that Russia consumes weapons and ammunition in Ukraine at a pace that exceeds U.S./Nato rates of production. Assuming that Russia has the industrial capacity to supply its current consumption (potentially with China’s help), the U.S./Nato militaries cannot compete with Russian forces on the battlefield.
“In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell,” Thomas wrote in his concurring opinion.“
Interracial marriage could be added to that list of prohibitions. The specter of banning birth control even for married couples could spark a political backlash in the next months. After all, an abortifacient is murder, marriage or no marriage, according to the right wing. True, inflation is top of mind in the electorate. Or was.
Joe Biden is such an embarrassment! He began his remarks with the very stupid words, “Today, the Supreme Court of the United States expressly took away a Constitutional right from the American people…”
