Alito faults Obergefell ruling in new book

Original: Alito book faults Obergefell ruling

US Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito criticizes the court's 2015 Obergefell decision, which legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, in a new book. The ruling, he argues, overstepped by creating a constitutional right not grounded in the text or history of the Constitution. The comments are drawing renewed attention to ongoing debates over same-sex marriage rights and the court's legitimacy.

Why now: Alito's fresh criticism of a landmark gay-rights ruling renews fears it could be revisited and fuels ongoing debate over the Supreme Court's direction.
