You did say that, though.
And yes, you are correct. I need to lay off the double negative coffee.
You are also correct that a marriage license is a state police power, and the feds don't get a say in that, under the Constitution.
The right to marry is a long understood right under common law, and all states recognize the right of a man and woman to marry.
Fight it from the right end, though.

If you have to get a license, it’s NOT a right.
Marriage is a tenet of virtually ALL religions.
I think I am.
REAL Christian preachers should REFUSE to marry anyone with a state marriage license, as well as any anyone else he deems unsuitable.
And then he should do so solely "In the eyes of God".
>> “The right to marry is a long understood right under common law” <<
.
It was a right given by God for over 5000 years before common law existed.
State sanctioned marriage is a violation of Jeremiah 17:5-8
We are not to put our trust in man over God.
