In reply to the discussion: Samuel L. Jackson goes in on Clarence Thomas with a Supreme Court decision reminder that hits close [View all]Scottie Mom
(5,812 posts)50. I don't think that some states would have to pass new laws (thinking deep South red states).
Just like with Roe...when overturned, the laws on the books in the states that banned abortion, they became the controlling law for the state. Seems to me that there most likely are laws on the books that ban the mixing of races and but for Loving v. Virginia, they would pstill be in effect today. Overrule Loving...and voila...mixed race marriages are again banned and perhaps like in Virginia pre-Loving, criminalized.

I'll be impressed when celebrities refuse to work in states that don't protect reproductive rights.

It would be interesting to hear a state's rationale for passing a new miscegenation law.
