BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): Meanwhile, the Democrats are really trying to push hard, particularly the Democrats in the media. So you've got ABC's Terry Moran saying, you never know what they might do next. What are they going to do next? My God, the Supreme Court - they might actually go back and overrule Loving v. Virginia and allow states to ban interracial marriage. Oh really? That wasn't even based on the right to privacy, you idiots. That’s based on the equal protection clause. Wrong constitutional clause, you morons.
And then they try to claim, well, they might overturn Obergefell. First of all, Obergefell is a bad Supreme Court decision and if we had a Supreme Court worth its salt, they would overturn Obergefell. But they're not going to. They explicitly say -- Alito says, I think three separate times in that decision that I read in nearly its totality on the air yesterday, that this has no impact on other cases of different lines. Which is a clear reference to Obergefell, repeatedly.
But Democrats know deep in the cockles of their tiny little Grinch-like hearts on abortion, they know that the abortion issue is not a winner. So they're trying to expand it out - well, you never know. The Supreme Court, they might go after gay rights, they might go after -- sure, you're right. The same Supreme Court in which Neil Gorsuch idiotically ruled that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 covers transgender people is now going to overrule Obergefell.
