You would have to be pretty stupid to read Thomas opinion, and hear speeches by Alito, and not be concerned ed for marriage equality.
Alito made no speeches or you would have cited them.
Federalist Society, November of 2020. But you knew that.
What he said was in his Dobbs majority opinion.
Rights not explicitly protected by the Constitution are now in the hands of state legislatures and will rely much more heavily in the future on local democracy. Social movements, campaigns and elections, all at the state level, will become the main battleground of American rights.
]QED
Dobbs rejects substantive due process in creating rights by judges.
Thomas wants to review some previous rulings to bring them into line with Dobbs.
No one else on the Court thinks that step is necessary.
No one but you thinks Thomas is alone in that opinion. We have an activist movement conservative Court and there is no reason why having taken an axe to Roe, with all of its prior rejected challenges and social order built around it, they would not do the same to Gay marriage. "Social movements, campaigns and elections, all at the state level, will become the main battleground of American rights" is directly applicable to marriage equality.
