[If the majority voted to reinstate the ban on interracial marriage, would it be OK?]
Yes. God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Laquisha.

Get it right, kids.
You live in a REPUBLIC, not a democracy.
That means that certain rights are indeed inalienable and cannot be erased by a 51% popular vote - for which I, as a gay man, am truly thankful. And STILL peeved at the passage of Prop. 8.
But I'll calm down one day. Probably the day I sign a marriage certificate to another man. And not before.
I guess I'm not able to get married since my name isn't Eve, huh?
Edit: Gah, a poe. I should really head to bed.

Right now it’s the law of the land. SCOTUS would have to overturn the decision that made it legal throughout the nation.
And with any other court, it would require a basis to make that decision. Buncha bigots is not a reason that would pass the Lemon Law.
Is there a non-bigot reason to restrict interracial marriage?
For that matter, you’d need an ironclad definition of race and a means to measure it.
If any of my kids were to marry a black woman, you would probably define it as interracial, though the states of Florida and Virginia insist they’re black.
The nurse in the NICU saw me and recorded one twin as ‘white.’ The nurse in the other bay saw Mom first and recorded ‘black’ for that twin.
“Yes. God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Laquisha.”
Doesn’t matter a damn for the laws of a secular nation.
So shove a paper sack up your blowhole.
Confused?
