". . . the conservative majority, along with swing Justice Anthony Kennedy, apparently wished to see states resolve the issue . . .

The problem here is, in at least some instances, the Federal courts are overruling the state courts and forcing sodomy on citizens who are opposed to it.

In almost all instances, it is now federal courts forcing the change in the definition of marriage.

32 states passed state constitutional amendments to their constitutions to define marriage. These state amendments prevent state judges from ruling for homosexual marriage. It is federal judges who are overturning these state amendments.

If I am not mistaken, all the homosexual marriage cases since the Supreme Court ruled in 2013 on marriage, have been in federal courts.

It is not intellectually honest to say that the Supreme Court wants the issue to be settled at the state level. An overwhelming majority of states already decided that marriage should be a man and a woman. How are we intellectually honest in saying that state after state is allowing homosexual marriage, when it is being forced on them by federal courts?

Then, will we see a future Supreme Court ruling indicating that since so many states allow homosexual marriage, that they will impose it on the remaining states? When it has been imposed by courts all along, not due to states own decisions???? And we are supposed to accept this legal logic???? Really????

The Supreme Court only needs to rule that the definition of marriage is a state issue and that the federal courts have no authority to overrule state legislatures and constitutions.
