Sorry, but as a lawyer totally in favor of gay marriage, Roberts, at least, is completely right on the legal theory.
There has been basically nothing, in the history of our country, considered more of a state right than defining marriage.
The supreme court is not a ruling council. Our constitution is about freedom from government intervention, not guaranteed government benefits.
The debates over everything in the past that led to amendments looked roughly the same as the debate over same sex marriage. The only difference is this time a court ended it by deciding to change the constitution.
