Well, we're two justices away from that tipping point on both cases. The replacement to Scalia won't change the numbers, but the next justice could flip both decisions.

But my main point was to show why his "settled law" comment shouldn't be comforting to the LGBT community, because he's definitely shown an interest in overturning other settled law and the judges will likely come as a package. If he really does have no interest in overturning marriage equality (which I doubt), then I still think he'll do it accidentally while he fights to overturn Roe.
