Reading a lot of, what I would view as, #badanalysis vis-a-vis marriage, of Kerry v. Din, which I just finished reading.

-
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.
