The Justices’ Justice

We will always remember Friday, the day the Supreme Court recognized in Obergefell v. Hodges that the Constitution guarantees a right to same-sex marriage. We will remember the date the decision happened: June 26, 2015. We will remember where we were when we first heard about it. As time passes, we will come to remember the decision for something else too. We will come to see Obergefell as the moment when we started to see the court as an institution to be embraced as a crucial leader in American social progress, rather than as an institution to be feared because of the uniquely problematic backlashes we once believed its more progressive decisions could generate.
