Absolutely. The ability of Warren to unite justices time and time again was exceptional, and often for huge cases like this one. Thanks for sending some of your subscribers my way, and yes, let's do it again in 2018. :)
Marriage is a cultural, not necessarily law. It is recognized by law for purposes of inheritance and obligations. SCOTUS failed to cite, that it is protected by First Amendment - Freedom of Expression x2. The two persons express their love and desire to become spouses.
It was like they had figurative blindfolds on & earplugs in, in order to ignoring all the glaringly obvious signs they were in the wrong for denying them
Didn't that end up badly for them? I mean yeah it's great for equality and freedom and liberty and all that good stuff but they didn't seem too happy with the spotlight

Mr. Beat As you probably know, the Supreme Court is currently in a term with hugely important cases on which they will decide. Why don't make a series when the cases are decided about the most interesting SCOTUS-cases from this year. So basically about Gill v. Whitford, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, Carpenter v. United States, that Chris Cristie gambling case and the one on working rights?
I think you should cover other cases related to free speech of students like your video on Morse v. Fredrick.You should also cover Tinker v. Des Moines,Bethel School District v. Fraser,and Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier.Those cases,along with Morse v. Fredrick,is the most referred to cases in determining other forms of student speech.It is really interesting.You should also take Lennart Elbin’s suggestion too!
Thank you for these! I teach 11th grade English and we've been covering major Supreme Court Cases and analyzing opinions. I've shown this, the Korematsu v. US, and the Roe v.

I can’t imagine being arrested for simply being married to someone of a different race.It is amazing that one couple can change the such racist laws across the nation forever.There are still some people that believe interracial marriage is bad in the small,Southern town I live in.It is so stupid that some people are still struck in the 1960s.

President During this time: Lyndon B. Johnson Chief Justice: Earl Warren Argued April 10, 1967 Decided June 12, 1967 Case Duration: 63 Days Decision: 9-0 in favor of Loving
Every state has its own run of horrible history. Oregon country, which (on the USA side) included Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and parts of Wyoming and Montana, banned Black ppl from living anywhere within its territory. And it wasnt until well into the start of the 20th century that the last parts of those bans were removed so that Black ppl cud own homes in Oregon (no clue when the other states ended their bans on Black ppl, im an Oregonian not an Idahoian or whatevs). The whole reason Oregon banned Black ppl was this bullshit racial purity argument. Like they didnt even want Black ppl here as slaves bcuz they feared that cud corrupt their racial purity. No state isnt at least somewhat disgustin in its history and its weird how folks always try to act like some states were the bad ones while others were the good ones.
@@neverletmego6414HAHAHA SOUTH INCEST . You realize Oregon has higher incest rates than most of the south ? And look at incest rates in Africa or Asia and get back to me liberal
Currently doing my A-Level US civil rights history course and it's crazy how many times Virginia comes up. Loving v. Virginia, Boynton v Virginia, Morgan v. Virginia, Virginia v. Rives, Harper v. Virginia State Board of Elections....
For decades, l have been fascinated by this case. ln lsrael, "miscegenation" is still impossible; not that living together as married is in any way illegal, as, unlike what many leftists/liberals lyingly claim, lsrael does uphold "international law," and marriages performed legally in other countries are recognized. But the sad fact remains that lsrael is today the only country without a Muslim majority which has not entered the 21st century!
Atha Sorrells and Robert Painter, an interracial couple fought the state of Virginia in 1925 to obtain a marriage license and won. That was 42 years before Loving v. Virginia.
if you think about it, Earl Warren is single-handedly responsible for bringing a lot of babies into the world that otherwise wouldn't have happen, man is a life-saver gotta give him props
Meanwhile everyone screamed that's just the way things are, that's just the way God intends things to be, why are you rocking the boat on behalf of race mixers, etc. There did not seem to be any rational reason to hope things would ever change, and yet they persisted. Also, thanks for exposing me to the word invidious.
I claimed religion as A reason. Not THE reason. And since you agree with me that it was A reason, what's your point? That religion was used on both sides of the argument? Well obviously I can't argue with that since there is so much evidence that it's true.
Sorry. I didn't see that as an actual intention of mine. My initial reaction was just to paint a picture of how and why people felt like this was the way things were and should remain. Mainly because in the present day I run into a lot of "well that's just the way it is and the way it's supposed to be" and a refusal to imagine that things could be any other way.
@@asnekboi7232 We care cus we see it different. Not cus "oh you're disgusting cus you're so dark", but cus you know science and history about races to be against this unnatural decision. Still won't delete the idea that we're different, even if humans have phenotypes, not races. God was never real. Africa is home to humanity, but not to all kinds of humans, as Eurasia invented different species of humans it's own way.
Having grown up in Virginia, I remember this case well. The area where the Lovings lived had long been all but integrated. State segregation laws still applied, but "common law" marriages between races were an open secret.
The craziest thing about all this is that Bobby actually read the letter and did something about it when he was Attorney General of the United States. Do you think that would happen today LMAO fuck no I mean heck no
Why Virginia state slogan is "Virginia for lovers" Because It does not sound right for a state bans interracial marriage for that long. Does it have anything related to this case?
It’s so crazy how Bans like this tore the country apart and even till this day. The issue of interracial marriage even till this day is a problem. I’m happy for Cases like this. I’m all for interracial marriages. Also, just like Brown Vs BOE, the states defied the Supreme Court decisions which shows we don’t really follow laws when the Court sets them
1958? Like really, I had to double check and… seriously, interracial couples were banned in the second half of XXth century somewhere in the US? How was that possible?
It would be both. Substantial due process concerns itself with fundamental liberty rights everyone has, like the right to get married. If a right is a fundamental liberty right, any law affecting it is subject to strict scrutiny analysis in the courts, where the state must show a compelling gov't purpose that is the least restrictive as possible.
Dale Gribble Thanks Dale. Those that believe in the idea of a "living constitution" have examples like yours in mind. They believe( as opposed to strict constructionists) that the decisions of the S.C. must be adapted to the norms of the times and respond to issues in new ways, ways that the Founding Fathers couldn't imagine( like same sex marriage).
The 14th amendment is often one brought up by justices who do view the document as a more "living document." If you think about it, it could be applied to many things, and can be a slippery slope.
This explains why so many people voted for Trump despite not liking him. They constantly brought up they were really "voting for a Supreme Court justice." I'm not a fan of judicial activism, and it's unfair to label all of the current justices that way, but there is so much fear about who these nine people are. Look at the backlash against Merrick Garland, who was really a fairly moderate guy.
Dale Gribble Good point.Judge Scalia often expressed annoyance over cases that were brought to the court when in his view,they were issues that should have been decided by elected legislatures. Once the court decided to hear a case,their decision would be based on the constitution,one way or the other,because the arguments would be about the constitutionality or not,of a decision or action. If you want,you can see Scalia and other S.C. justices on TH-cam.
I go back and forth about Scalia. Sure, he always said he was a strict constructionist, but often he was guilty of also interpreting the Constitution in a way that likely fit his worldview. If he was a bit more principled, he might just be one of the greatest justices in American history. In DC v Heller, for example, if he was principled he would have also saw to it that the legislative branch handle that issue.
@carboy101 That's blatantly false. Alabama has literally dozens of functional roads. And while once strongly opposed to interracial and gay marriage, Alabamans today are the only people on Earth who don't care what two consenting adults do behind closed doors.
Because that's not how it works. I am way oversimplifying (ie. I'm wrong), but the basic function of the court is to find out what happened in the case, and apply the appropriate consequence based on the evidence. In the US, the court does this mostly by basing their judgements on precedent, or case law, meaning decisions made by a higher court on the same issue. A lower-court judge doesn't base their decision on the constitution, but the higher court's ruling on the constitution as it pertains to the case. (assuming it is a constitutional issue) Even if a judges ruling is later overturned by a higher court, that doesn't mean that the previous ruling was "wrong" because of it. What would make a ruling wrong, would be going against precedent and established law, in a matter where all the information needed to make the "correct" ruling have been brought into the attention of the court. Difficult constitutional questions are deliberated in the SC, precisely so that those decisions can then be applied by the lower courts in the future, to solve similar cases. But as a general rule, you cannot be punished for doing something that was not against the law at the moment you did it.

I really like the way you describe these cases !
What a Loving decision ❣
Why Virginia state slogan is "Virginia for lovers" Because It does not sound right for a state bans interracial marriage for that long. Does it have anything related to this case?
It’s so crazy how Bans like this tore the country apart and even till this day. The issue of interracial marriage even till this day is a problem. I’m happy for Cases like this. I’m all for interracial marriages. Also, just like Brown Vs BOE, the states defied the Supreme Court decisions which shows we don’t really follow laws when the Court sets them
Congrats! This was my 2,700th video on my watch later list
@@Fsast9707 huh
I’m really enjoying the Supreme Court Briefs! Any chance of doing Deshaney v. Winnebago?
1958? Like really, I had to double check and… seriously, interracial couples were banned in the second half of XXth century somewhere in the US? How was that possible?
Oh, this is just barely scratching the surface of ridiculous laws that were in-place back then.
my country decriminalized homosexuality 7 years before that happened
America decriminalized homosexuality like 70 years later@@lol-ih1tl
4:21 "Sweet home Mississippi"
Would this be considered a substantive process case as opposed to a procedural case since it questioned the actual law(act)?
It would be both.
Substantial due process concerns itself with fundamental liberty rights everyone has, like the right to get married. If a right is a fundamental liberty right, any law affecting it is subject to strict scrutiny analysis in the courts, where the state must show a compelling gov't purpose that is the least restrictive as possible.
Virginia really switched up their attitude being against loving here and for lovers in the future.
4:21 how dare you! That is not Alabama! That is my home state of Mississippi! And yes, it was probably Alabama that did it last.😂
Alabama: Last state to eliminate ban on intertacial marriage
Also Alabama: First state to have same siblimg sex
Does that means I can sue my state if they banned it.
Yes
and you'll win
Alabama? Sweet Home Alabama? Ban interracial marriage but fine with relative-marriage?!?
Where did they originally get married? If it was outlawed in Virginia,how did they get married there?
Dale Gribble Thanks Dale. Those that believe in the idea of a "living constitution" have examples like yours in mind. They believe( as opposed to strict constructionists) that the decisions of the S.C. must be adapted to the norms of the times and respond to issues in new ways, ways that the Founding Fathers couldn't imagine( like same sex marriage).
The 14th amendment is often one brought up by justices who do view the document as a more "living document." If you think about it, it could be applied to many things, and can be a slippery slope.
This explains why so many people voted for Trump despite not liking him. They constantly brought up they were really "voting for a Supreme Court justice." I'm not a fan of judicial activism, and it's unfair to label all of the current justices that way, but there is so much fear about who these nine people are. Look at the backlash against Merrick Garland, who was really a fairly moderate guy.
Dale Gribble Good point.Judge Scalia often expressed annoyance over cases that were brought to the court when in his view,they were issues that should have been decided by elected legislatures. Once the court decided to hear a case,their decision would be based on the constitution,one way or the other,because the arguments would be about the constitutionality or not,of a decision or action. If you want,you can see Scalia and other S.C. justices on TH-cam.
I go back and forth about Scalia. Sure, he always said he was a strict constructionist, but often he was guilty of also interpreting the Constitution in a way that likely fit his worldview. If he was a bit more principled, he might just be one of the greatest justices in American history. In DC v Heller, for example, if he was principled he would have also saw to it that the legislative branch handle that issue.
Instead of Alabama you showed Mississippi Mr. Beat!!!
These titles are so coincidental, "Brown v. The Board of Education" "Loving v Virginia"
Nobody noticed the arrow pointing to the wrong state? 4:18
55 years ago today.
Could you do Reynolds v. Sims, one of my favorite SC cases?
Mississippi was the last, Alabama was in 1993.
4:21, you're pointing to Mississippi there. Alabama is the next state over to the east.
+Jeremy Edmond Yeah, I corrected it in the description.
They're practically the same state to be honest.
@carboy101 That's blatantly false. Alabama has literally dozens of functional roads. And while once strongly opposed to interracial and gay marriage, Alabamans today are the only people on Earth who don't care what two consenting adults do behind closed doors.
Virgina is my state!
Evil brody me too. We need to make it great again.
Same
I guess all the Virginia peeps here
4:20 The arrow points to Mississippi!
love has no color
So it is for stupidity.

wait interracial marriage was legalized in alabama only in 2000?
The law criminalizing interracial marriage still existed, but the state couldn't enforce it.
These are great. You need to co many more
Ah yes, the famous Alabama-Louisiana border
the fact that the supreme court might repeal this is sad
Clarence Thomas probably would start it too if he got paid enough
Don’t worry about anything. This isn’t gonna be repealed

wrong alabama
That's Mississippi, the left handed Alabama.
@@mcarstensen Lets not pretend Alabama and Mississippi are virtually the same state in separate boarders
Notice that California and Oregon had anti-miscegenation laws, before 1967.
because of discrimination against Asians.
But New York didn't because we're perfect
Good video of facts with an unbiased approach - A plus
4:20. Mississippi
“racial integrity” 😭 the fuck is that
Why can’t the lower court judges be expelled for interpreting the constitution this way?
Because that's not how it works.
I am way oversimplifying (ie. I'm wrong), but the basic function of the court is to find out what happened in the case, and apply the appropriate consequence based on the evidence. In the US, the court does this mostly by basing their judgements on precedent, or case law, meaning decisions made by a higher court on the same issue. A lower-court judge doesn't base their decision on the constitution, but the higher court's ruling on the constitution as it pertains to the case. (assuming it is a constitutional issue)
Even if a judges ruling is later overturned by a higher court, that doesn't mean that the previous ruling was "wrong" because of it. What would make a ruling wrong, would be going against precedent and established law, in a matter where all the information needed to make the "correct" ruling have been brought into the attention of the court.
Difficult constitutional questions are deliberated in the SC, precisely so that those decisions can then be applied by the lower courts in the future, to solve similar cases. But as a general rule, you cannot be punished for doing something that was not against the law at the moment you did it.
Why can’t all Democrat lawmakers be thrown In jail for interpreting the second amendment as entire gun groups being banned ?
4:21 why are you pointing to Mississippi then saying Alabama
Great story- hard to believe the supreme court got it right.
Not really…
You had a great thing going until you misidentified Alabama. Even my students called it out.
Why is this video unlisted?
+Dario Guerra I haven't officially released it yet lol. So Congratulations on first!
Mr. Beat I'm here now so it's public. YAY!
Dario Guerra how did you find the link to this video?
I accidentally put it on the Supreme Court Briefs playlist early!
4:21 bruh really
Why did they break in there house at 2am when they could have rang the bell in day time
They wanted to catch them having the thing
So they could arrest them on that pretext
Let's see how the comments look...(hoping for the best, expecting the worst).
Dang i didn't know RFK was involved!
