Why The Court Declined The Obergefell Challenge
- The Supreme Court's refusal to take the Kim Davis case doesn't mean Obergefell is safe forever.
- Courts require the right, clean case and majority alignment to overturn landmark precedents.
Precedent Reversal Needs The Right Case
- Overturning major precedents requires both a sympathetic court and the right factual vehicle.
- Mohler highlights Dobbs as the clean case that enabled Roe's reversal, implying Obergefell needs a similar opportunity.

- The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to enforce a passports policy limiting markers to male or female tied to birth sex.
- The order lets the policy proceed while lower courts continue litigation.
