None of the nine justices assert ANYTHING CLOSE TO the claim I've seen that "There's No Constitutional Right to Marriage."

Here's the opinion in Kerry v. Din: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/13-1402_e29g.pdf … (I will continue.)

First of all, six justices do NOT determine that Din lacked the constitutional right in question in the immigration case.

And the right that three justices determined Din lacked is NOT a right to marriage. Scalia, w Roberts & Thomas:pic.twitter.com/vgFuB8E1gN

The three-justice opinion later notes how different it sees this case is from marriage rights themselves:pic.twitter.com/L51XG5mT7Y

And then, again, details the right it viewed as being at issue:pic.twitter.com/cjhP7nol1C

Kennedy's opinion concurring in judgment, joined by Alito, assumes even ~this expansive liberty interest~ exists:pic.twitter.com/2GCFiNdYIj

Then, the Breyer dissent goes even further, finding that the expansive liberty interest here ~does~ exist:pic.twitter.com/Vuzsau6BGv

So, while I don't think one can read much of anything about Obergefell into Din, if you ~insisted~ on doing so, it goes the other way.
