Again - trial by Jury, habeaus corpus and the definition of marriage as one man and one woman are all a part of American jurisprudence.

You don't know your ass from a whole in the ground.

Trial by jury is a Constitutional Amendment, habeaus corpus is a privilege enjoyed among Free men, according to the Constitution, and there is no definition of marriage in the US Constitution.

Cite it troll.

“Trial by jury is a Constitutional Amendment, habeaus corpus is a privilege enjoyed among Free men, according to the Constitution, and there is no definition of marriage in the US Constitution.”

Article IV section 1 accords to the federal government the power to regulate marriage, (among other things) as a ‘public act’. Given Reynolds, and other decisions, which confirm this to be the case - the answer is pretty clear. Also, ‘uniform naturalization’ also applies here. Insofar as the US grants spousal visas, then it is up to the federal government, and not the states, to define who qualifies as a spouse.
