Marilyn Chinitz, partner in the&nbsp;Matrimonial &amp; Family Law Group at Blank Rome, shared with&nbsp;Newsweek, saying, "If the Supreme Court takes this case, it will not be to overturn&nbsp;Obergefell, but it could be reviewed in a narrow way, determining whether a state official can claim a religious exemption from performing official duties. It is unlikely that the Supreme Court will use this case to overturn the landmark case."
