That’s why SCOTUS recast the issue as one of individual rights protected by the 14th amendment. It gets around the “marriage isn’t an enumerated federal power” issue.

Marriage before God can only be recognized as such when it occurs between a natural man and woman, per commandment of Almighty God. This makes any ruling by the SCOTUS concerning such a Divine matter, well outside its earthly jurisdiction. Our wrongheaded government's glorification of what the Almighty considers an abomination threatens America's very survival.

Sure. The Constitution is as elastic as they need it to be. Then you got them emanations from penumbras, if they can't find anything to stretch quite far enough.

Is it an individual right if it takes two to exercise it?
