The Supreme Court is pretty good at avoiding rulings with this sort of broad effect, while still having the desired outcome for the individuals involved. See, for example, the ruling in Hollingsworth v. Perry and the refusal to review various related circuit-court decisions, before a circuit split forced them to take up Obergefell v. Hodges. -- Mark _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
