Hi, I'm Amy Coney Barrett. Myself and 4 of my unelected collegues on the Supreme Court have reviewed this case. While personally we find the racism appalling, there is nothing in our divinely-inspired, perfect constitution that says a state cannot do this. Any previous rulings to similar issues were just judicial overreach. So we find in favor of allowing Texas to ban interracial marriage. But don't worry! All that has to happen is to get our zippy and effective US House, Senate, and President to agree to make a federal law that allows interracial marriage legal everywhere. Now admittedly, when we review that law we'll probably find that that's not a power explicitly outlined in the constitution for the federal government, so we'll probably strike that one down too. But you're not out of options! You can always pass a constitutional amendment! Shouldn't be too hard to get 75% of states to agree on something, even though a solid 50-60% of those states are fucking batshit crazy. I mean, it was only in the 1960s that any significant amendment has been made. How hard can it be?
