Damn fair question, if he wants to use the same rationale of "Substantive Due Process" to change all of these laws like Roe v Wade, Griswold, Lawrence and Obergefell, then let's throw in Loving v Virginia since it was the basis for this case as well.
Samuel L. Jackson derisively calls SCOTUS justice 'Uncle Clarence' and asks him how he feels about overturning Loving v. Virginia - the 1967 ruling that declared state bans on interracial marriage are unconstitutional
- Samuel L Jackson dubbed Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas 'Uncle Clarence' after he defended the decision to overturn Roe v Wade
- The term is an apparent reference to the Uncle Tom character in abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, a subservient slave
- The Marvel Cinematic Universe actor asked the justice how he is feeling about the Loving v Virginia decision that allows for interracial marriage
- Thomas, 74, is in an interracial marriage with his wife, Virginia
- But he called for his colleagues to 'reconsider' other landmark Supreme Court cases that use the same rationale as the Loving and the Roe case
