Where did I say that SCOTUS makes law?

 

the decision of SCOTUS on gay marriage is unfortunately legal and

the law of the land.

SCOTUS struck down laws that restricted gay marriage because they were allegedly incompatible with the 14th Amendment. I disagree with that interpretation, however, as of today, it is the law of the land.

The options to override the SCOTUS decision are limited to a constitutional amendment or an act of Congress. Clerks can not override this or any SCOTUS decision ad hoc.
