What rights are involved with those cases? Isn't one of the gay marriage and one sodomy or something? Would Loving also be endangered?

Loving v Virginia and Brown v Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas fall decidedly under the 14th Amendment. If SCOTUS has adopted full Humpty Dumpty jurisprudence so that the Constitution means whatever 5 or more justices want it to mean, then damn near all previous decisions are up for reconsideration.

Stare decisis is for losers.

In Griswold, the court ruled that state bans on birth control violated marital privacy rights. The current court rejects the notion of privacy rights.

And I believe, interracial marriage... It's pretty scary stuff.
