How Far Back will Supremes Turn Back Time?

On June 12, 1967, the Supreme Court issued its Loving v. Virginia decision, which struck down laws that banned marriages between people of different races as unconstitutional.  Will Justice Thomas make it all the way back to 1965?  If so, what happens to Ginni?

Update 6-30-22:  Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado wants to roll the clock back to before the U.S. Constitution so "the church can direct the state."  I take it she wants her church to direct the state as there are thousands of Christian denominations.  Many of our Founding Fathers were deists.  Would Boebert recognize a deist is she met one?   

Update 7-17-22:  Texas Senator Ted Cruz wants to roll back time regarding marriage.  All white, all male legislators have done some evil things over the years.  Cruz is fully capable of challenging this ignorance and hate.

Update 7-2-23:  In striking down affirmative action in college admissions Judge Thomas expressed his vision for a "colorblind Constitution."  Our founding document counted slaves as three-fifths of a person.  Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, used his slaves a collateral for a loan.  He was the first to do so.  That is our history.
