In his dissent, Chief Justice John Roberts likened the decision to the Dred Scott opinion, by now considered one of the worst-decided opinions in the history of the United States Supreme Court. Roberts likened the substantive due process of allowing a same-gender couple to be a “we” to human bondage. The analogy is so strange that it defies coherent interpretation. It must have been based in the anchor of faith, or in his self-constitution, rather than the Constitution of the United States.
