I think, if I read this right, the real point is that previous SCOTUS decisions on the question of who may marry were left to the states...
yes probably correct but that was when supremes didn’t ajudiacte they followed the constitution
Correct.
And from a case in New York in 2014, where a marriage had taken place between an uncle and a niece, it was appealed to a Federal court, who then ASKED THE HIGHEST NEW YORK COURT TO LOOK AT THE ISSUE!
The New York supreme court then reviewed the rulings and decisions and decided the marriage was a true marriage.
Case closed.
