[Dilbert San Diego]

If the decision on same sex marriage were overturned, then similar to abortion, the issue would go back to the states.

In the time from 2004 to about 2011, 32 states passed state constitutional amendments defining marriage as a man and a woman. All of those amendments, plus a number of regular statute laws defining marriage, were obliterated by the Supreme Court.

If same sex marriage were overturned, then the proponents of homosexual marriage would then make the case for that legal status, state by state. Some states would allow same sex marriage. Some would not.

Because marriage, in the states view, is a property contract, there is a case to be made under to commerce clause and equal protection clauses.

It’s done and it ain’t going back.

States should ignore the SC when they render opinions that are obviously not constitutional.

If same sex marriage were overturned, then the proponents of homosexual marriage would then make the case for that legal status, state by state. Some states would allow same sex marriage. Some would not.

The Trouble here is that the Constitution requires that other states recognize things like "marriages" from other states.

It's all or nothing.
