I smell a Roe v Wade coming. All this will do is what Roe did to abortion, which is to shove homosexual marriage down everyone's throat, creating resentment all around: the gays and their marriage supporters will resent that they will never have the acceptance of those who lose the decision, and the rest of us will resent that once again the voice of the people and the limited powers of the Constitution have been trampled upon by those who long ago ceased to be the loyal opposition and became the internal saboteurs.

Just like abortion, marriage is NOT a constitutionally delegated federal issue and therefore, a states’ issue. SOCTUS only has the legitimate, constitutional power to strike down lower federal court rulings and declare this to be a states’ issue.
