Do we need to worry about our overseas gay marriage because Amy Coney Barett?

[wangsit 2]

So, My husband is LPR. We are marriage in New Zealand.
We have same sex marriage.
I am from Indonesia that did not support gay marriage, so our marriage in NZ is considered not accepted.

 

Year 2020 seems like a very hard year for us.
Because we cannot have our plan to have a trip to Thailand in November 2020,  and Trump's visa ban.
My partner is stuck in America because he has better lives in America.
While , I am stuck in New Zealand because migrant cannot come back to NZ because pandemic.

 

And Amy Coney Barett becomes supreme court, and I heard that same sex marriage will be erased.

Our case has reached NVC and waiting to be DQ.

We are worried what will happen to our case, if Trump win and Supreme Court revert their decision in same sex marriage?
Is our case will be nullified because of the supreme Court Decision?
At this moment I have not seen my husband for almost 1 year, and we really miss each other.

I heard Mexico would pay for a border wall but I haven’t seen that happen. I also heard we would wake up one day, back in April, and coronavirus would be gone. I haven’t seen that happen either.

Where did you hear this nonsense?

Not true

The Supreme Court does not just make a decision or overturn a decision already made   / it has to decide on a case bought before it 

so what case is going to be bought that needs a reversal?

 

The Supreme Court receives about 10,000 petitions a year. The Justices use the "Rule of Four” to decide if they will take the case. If four of the nine Justices feel the case has value, they will issue a writ of certiorari. ... The majority of the Supreme Court's cases today are heard on appeal from the lower courts.

One person on the Supreme Court bench cannot change law overnight just because of their personal views. There’s a reason there are 9 justices on the bench. There are full legal processes that must be followed.

2020 has been a hard year! You do not need to worry. Just be patient with your case at the NVC. Good luck my friend.

Initially I found this amusing, but thinking about it more, scary, where do you get your information?

Probably from the same news source that claimed that Trump was going to 'ban immigration' and 'send all immigrants home', and '80 million Americans would contract Coronavirus and 3 million would die before July 4, 2020', and many more gems.

There is a clear push from certain elements for this, including Justice Thomas of the supreme court saying the court needs to revisit the case. (See article linked.) However, even if it were to happen (and I don’t think it would in the way he /she worries, Individual states would presumably still be able to allow gay marriage) for OP specifically no need to worry with a case already in process.

Was that source Justice Clarence Thomas of the Supreme Court? “Thomas suggested the court needs to revisit the issue because it has "created a problem that only it can fix."”, from the link above.
 

The problem with all the b.s. sensationalist “news” is that it obscures real news and real threats to civil rights, or at least gets otherwise reasonable people to lump it all in the same category.

There are plenty of news articles suggesting the possibility. The Advocate is a respected LGBT news site and they have published several, including:

Justices Alito and Thomas call for overturning marriage equality

 

kamala harris: ACB will endanger marriage equality

 

Among others, and other articles in other sources. Hopefully it's not a real concern and it's just an attempt to scare LGBT people into voting, but it's not a crazy fear to have and it is difficult for me to watch when straight people on this site and elsewhere completely disregard the concerns LGBT people have about our rights.

Kamal Harris would say something like that - she's fighting an election. All bets are off with regard to the scaremongering that people will resort to when there is an election at stake.
