The US supreme court seems to disagree with you.

Recent SCOTUS actions disprove your point.

Ask the SCOTUS. It was their interpretation.

Has SCOTUS ever later revisited and reversed a previous decision?

The current SCOTUS? Respecting your rights? I wouldn’t count on it, friend.

Showed? You mean "argues", right? This has been case law via the Supreme Court for over fifty years, and only because the court is currently so thoroughly packed with a singular ideology is it getting considered again.

And these justifications from previous decisions (Obergefell, Loving etc… ) can be overturned with the current SCOTUS’s interpretation. In-fact, in the leaked draft, these were also on the docket to be targeted by the court. In todays assent, only Obergefell is being targeted. I wonder why that is? (Cough, Clarence Thomas)
