Reynolds vs the US is the case you are looking for.

Same section as trial by jury and habeaus corpus. The definition of marriage as one man and one woman comes from the English Common Law which was incorporated before the Constitution even existed in the 13 colonies.

Who issues marriage licenses? The State or the FedGov?

Wow, I'll give you kudos for knowing that case, however you don't know WTF you're talking about.

The SCOTUS decided a State issue, it was not Federal law, as you posted it should be.

Next,,,,
