    Loving v. Virginia | 388 U.S. 1 (1967)
    On a hot summer night in 1958, law enforcement burst into the bedroom of Mildred and Richard Loving, and placed them under arrest. The Lovings had not gone on a crime spree, but they were public enemies in the eyes of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Mr. and Mrs. Loving were thrown in jail for getting married-an act prohibited in Virginia, all because the Lovings didn’t share the same skin color. The legal battle that followed culminated in the United States Supreme Court decision of Loving versus Virginia, which would forever cast the Lovings among the heroes of the Civil Rights Movement.

    I don't really believe in fate but the fact they were called the Lovings is so fitting. The courts banned Loving. Great videos!

      On a related note, the 'Obergefell v. Hodges' case (which legalized same-sex marriage) could have been called 'Love v. Beshear' (but the cases were consolidated differently).

Florida' (decided in 1964 - 3 years before 'Loving' - by the Supreme Court of the United States, though the case was about cohabitation and not marriage) involved a black man and a white woman. (Both the two cases were decided in favor of the couple, the first 4:3, the second unanimously.)

    Why was Loving unanimous, but Obergefell was split 5-4?

    • @tejasra8743
      @tejasra8743 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Obergefell was split on the conservative side because of 3 reasons. One: the Constitution doesn't define what marriage is. State legislation does. Anthony Kennedy made the Court a super legislator with no accountability to the people with this decision, as they are our great moral arbiters.And honestly, I don't think the government should provide tax breaks to families that are married because it creates questions concerning gay couples that do the same things as them.

    • @tejasra8743
      @tejasra8743 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      2nd: Gay association was already legalized through Lawrence v. Texas, which was a good decision, because the rights given to citizens through the 14th amendment say that the laws have to be equally applied to everyone in the population, otherwise its overt discrimination intending to go after a group. The Interracial ban had a specific purpose to target a select group of people, while others were left unperturbed. However, Obergefell didn't go after the criminality aspect of it. In the laws already on the books, there is no justification any decent lawyer can make for gay marriage.

    • @tejasra8743
      @tejasra8743 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The justification Kennedy used in his argument was that by having distinct differences, thats inherent discrimination and an attack on human "rights", by his logic. But human rights are ordained by God, they cannot be created out of thin air, like a "right" to a marriage license. "Rights" are liberties or freedoms. They aren't entitlements.

    • @tejasra8743
      @tejasra8743 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Rights are liberties for the government to protect and are freedoms for you to do that government cannot take away. 3rd is that by direct principle, this case can re define what marriage is. If marriage is just consent and love between two people, why isn't incest off the table

    • @tejasra8743
      @tejasra8743 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Fundamentally, I believe marriage is exclusively between a man and a woman. I have no problem with gay people, I don't mind them one bit. For people to say that people hate gay marriage because of Levitcus or Sodom and Gomorrah is bad. But this case redefined marriage forever, which I don't like

      Horror of horrors! Two people fell in love and got married. Really, what's it to you? Interracial marriage - or same-sex marriage - doesn't harm anybody. It "neither breaks your leg nor picks your pocket". So let people associate with whoever they want. "Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" - does that remind you of something?
