Hillary tells Tarlov SCOTUS is coming after same-sex marriage

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton rang the alarm bells about nationwide same-sex marriage laws.

Speaking on the “Raging Moderates” podcast co-hosted by Fox News’ Jessica Tarlov, Clinton warned that the U.S. Supreme Court may soon overturn the 2015 landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges that found the right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples.

“This has been one of the biggest complaints that I’ve had: American voters, and to some extent the American media, don’t understand how many years the Republicans have been working in order to get us to this point,” the failed 2016 Democratic presidential nominee said.

“It took 50 years to overturn Roe v. Wade,” Clinton said. “The Supreme Court will hear a case about gay marriage; my prediction is they will do to gay marriage what they did to abortion — they will send it back to the states.”

“Anybody in a committed relationship out there, in the LGBTQ community, you ought to consider getting married, because I don’t think they’ll undo existing marriages. But I fear that they will undo the national right, and so fewer than half the states will recognize gay marriage,” Clinton continued.

“There are going to be real-world consequences, but a lot of them are not likely to hit with the velocity and intensity until after the 2026 election. So they’re trying to set it up so that they can win that election and then dump all of this other bad news on the American people,” she claimed.

“And they’re doing state capture of capitalism, state capture of institutions. The courts are doing their best, but it’s slow. And the Supreme Court gave Trump a big victory when they said no nationwide injunctions to stop allegedly illegal activity—you have to go district by district, circuit by circuit,” Clinton told Tarlov.

According to The Hill:

In July, Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who was briefly jailed in 2015 for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, formally asked the Supreme Court to revisit its Obergefell decision, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in June. The justices have not yet said whether they will take up the case.

If Obergefell were overturned, same-sex marriage rights would still be protected by the Respect for Marriage Act, a bipartisan measure signed by former President Biden in 2022 that requires all states and the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages performed in states where they are legal.

“So I think that in an election, we have a better than fighting chance. But we’re going to be fighting with maybe one or even two hands tied behind us if Texas does what it wants to do, if other states do what Trump tells them to do,” Clinton said in the podcast interview.

“Because they don’t want a fair fight. They don’t want to have a fight about the issues. They want to distract and divert attention away from all of their problems—and, more importantly, not just their political problems, but the problems they’re causing to American businesses, American consumers, to our institutions,” she continued.  “All of which will have a lot of bad effects on most people in this country, one way or the other.”

Clinton’s fear-mongering may have Tarlov and Democrats in agreement, but many social media users called out her so-called predictions.

You also predicted you would win. So, there’s that.

Trump has a married gay man in his cabinet. Hillary is just emotionally blackmailing insecure gay people.
No, he doesn’t support men in women spaces, but neither do 80% of the population.
