“Donald Verrilli Jr., the U.S. solicitor general arguing on the side of same-sex marriage, told the justices, ‘There is a cost to waiting.’ He recalled that the argument by opponents of interracial marriage in Loving v. Virginia in 1967 was to delay because ‘the social science is still uncertain about how biracial children will fare in this world.’
