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.

"could" flip and "will" flip are two different things.
As for his settled law comment, I'm not taking any solace in it. I don't base my opinions it won't flip because of it either.
We'll see what happens.
