Loving V. Virginia:

Background:
  In 1958 2 people, a white man Richard Loving and a black woman Mildred Jeter were married in D.C. When they returned to Virginia after they were charged with the state's antimiscengenation statute which banned inter-racial marriages. The Lovings were found guilty and were given a year in jail.

Issue:
 Does the Antimiscengenation law violate the 14th amendment clause of Equal Protection?

Decision:
 In a 9 to 0 decision in favor of Loving the Supreme Court decided that the law was unconstitutional.
M: Warren all judges supported Warren except Stewart
C: Stewart

Opinion:
  I strongly agree with the decision of the Supreme Court. First of all, the fact that the clause discriminates race is ridiculous. This totally violates the 14th amendment because all people are allowed equal protection regardless of race and gender. Marriage between man and women is considered a fundamental right and the establishment of this clause would be taking away that right. There is no definite motive as to why this statute would be established, it only represents animosity toward blacks or vice versa by not allowed interracial marriage.
