Same-sex marriage challenges, redux

 The NYT has the story:

Same-Sex Marriage Is the Law of the Land. Some States Are Debating It Anyway.  State efforts to urge the Supreme Court to reconsider same-sex marriage have not advanced, but they have reopened the issue.  By Amy Harmon

"In half a dozen states, Republican lawmakers have introduced resolutions urging the Supreme Court to overturn its 2015 decision, Obergefell v. Hodges. In Tennessee, a Republican legislator has proposed a new category of “covenant” marriages between “one male and one female.” And in several states, including Virginia and Oregon, Democrats are laying the groundwork to repeal old state statutes and constitutional amendments that prohibited same-sex marriage, which could come back into effect should Obergefell be overturned."
