Content: "What makes a Supreme Court decision a landmark? It has to have an immediate and profound effect on some aspect of people's daily lives, and it has to raise constitutional and political issues that go far beyond the immediate questions before the Court. Brown v. Board of Education was such a decision for the 1950s, and Roe v. Wade for the 1970s. It is already clear to constitutional scholars that Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage throughout the country, is such a case for our era. Yet the majority opinion, written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, satisfies hardly anyone. In this book, Jack Balkin has recruited thirteen leading scholars to serve as pretend Supreme Court justices, and together with himself as Chief Justice, they have produced twelve opinions that reflect, as the title has it, what the Court should have said. Including a majority opinion that is a masterpiece of doctrinal clarity, plus a range of both concurring and dissenting opinions, What Obergefell v. Hodges Should Have Said is a brilliant exploration of constitutional paths not taken. It will make compelling reading for constitutional scholars, students, those interested in the issues surrounding same-sex marriage, and anyone with an interest in constitutional reasoning at the highest level"--

Content: Rewriting the Supreme Court's landmark gay rights decision Jack Balkin and an all-star cast of legal scholars, sitting as a hypothetical Supreme Court, rewrite the famous 2015 opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges, which guaranteed same-sex couples the right to marry. In eleven incisive opinions, the authors offer the best constitutional arguments for and against the right to same-sex marriage, and debate what Obergefell should mean for the future. In addition to serving as Chief Justice of this imaginary court, Balkin provides a critical introduction to the case. He recounts the story of the gay rights litigation that led to Obergefell, and he explains how courts respond to political mobilizations for new rights claims.
