What is What Obergefell V. Hodges Should Have Said : The Nation's Top Legal Experts Rewrite America's Same-Sex Marriage Decision about?

<DIV><B>Rewriting the Supreme Court’s landmark gay rights decision</B><BR /><BR /> Jack Balkin and an all-star cast of legal scholars, sitting as a hypothetical Supreme Court, rewrite the famous 2015 opinion in <I>Obergefell v. Hodges</I>, which guaranteed same-sex couples the right to marry. In eleven incisive opinions, the authors offer the best constitutional arguments for and against the right to same-sex marriage, and debate what <I>Obergefell</I> should mean for the future.<BR />  <BR /> In addition to serving as Chief Justice of this imaginary court, Balkin provides a critical introduction to the case. He recounts the story of the gay rights litigation that led to <I>Obergefell</I>, and he explains how courts respond to political mobilizations for new rights claims. The social movement for gay rights and marriage equality is a powerful example of how—through legal imagination and political struggle—arguments once dismissed as “off-the-wall” can later become established in American constitutional law.</DIV>
