> If you're in Nevada you won't get citizenship, but in Oregon you will.

They're 100% coming for Obergfell and it's clear now how. They'll arrest a legal US citizen who has naturalized citizenship from illegal parents, born in a state that received an injunction but residing in a state that has not.

The representative of that person will say that they by being a citizen in the other state, they must be respected as a citizen in the other. They will cite Obergfell.

The SCOTUS will revoke their ruling on Obergfell and say, no, you are not a citizen just because there's an injunction in that other state.

The astute reader may notice that this is literally a replay of Dread Scott.






Sorry just to clarify - you think they are going to cite and overturn a case about the legalization of same-sex marriage in their witch hunt of illegal immigrants?

I think the connection that's being made is that if they can declare that your citizenship-by-birth, legal in Oregon, is not legal in Nebraska (making you effectively stateless there), that they can say the same thing for your same-sex marriage certificate issued in Oregon, is not recognized in Nebraska.
