From the article, “the Supremacy Clause provides that state laws must yield when they conflict with federal law.”
What federal law?
There is no federal marriage law, marriage laws have always been within the purview of the States. The people of Kentucky have decided that marriage is between man & woman.
The USSC has no authority to commandeer the legislative process of the States, Kentucky can not be forced to issue marriage licenses contrary to its laws or to have it’s laws written for them by the federal Supreme Court.
That issue was decided back in 1967 in Loving v. Virginia.
C'mon, you know what Federal law. They're talking about the United States Constitution. You and I might disagree with that the Supreme Court did, but there's no need for us to pretend that we're too stupid to figure out what they did. The Court is claiming that a state cannot issue marriage licenses to just couples who are one male and one female. I don't understand the Court to be saying that a state has to recognize or license any marriages. Presumably, these states can, if they wish, not recognize or license any marriages. But, it they license normal marriages, they have to also license homosexual marriages. If these states want to repeal all their marriage laws, they probably can, but they don't really want to do that.
If we're going to restore normal marriages as being the only marriages, we have to proceed politically. The Court has spoken about where it stands. There's no point in pretending that this decision was just some kind of an accident caused by their failure to think things through.
