Citing their success in taking away women’s reproductive rights to turn them into baby incubators, they decided to put their lobbying power now behind legal cases to overturn Obergefell and make non-heterosexual people illegal. Unfortunately, we have too many extremist evangelical judges Trump appointed during his first term, along with a partisan right-wing religious majority on the SC. Given that Trump will have many other opportunities to appoint Christian Nationalist who want to replace the Constitution with their personal interpretation of the Bible, there’s a good chance they will succeed.
