The thing about tokens, they get spent. First: Roe overturn. Completed Second: Obergefell overturn. In process. Third: Lawrence overturn. In process. Fourth: Griswald overturn. In process. Soon: Loving overturn. Coming.

What are those? I only know Roe is for abortion.

Obergefell v. Hodges: Same-sex couples have a fundamental right to marry.

Lawrence v. Texas: Anti-sodomy laws are unconstitutional.

Griswold v. Connecticut: Opposite-sex couples have a Constitutional right to privacy and contraception.

Loving v. Virginia: Bans on interracial marriage are unconstitutional.

Obergefell is same-sex marriage, Lawrence overturned sodomy laws making gay sex legal, Griswold was legalizing contraception, and Loving was interracial marriage.
