I must assume this throws the doors open to nationwide lawsuits.

It will, but it will ultimately come down to either Congress or the SCOTUS. The laws can't be different from state-to-state (at least that's what the gay lobby will say). This is going to be another Roe v. Wade decision. In this case, however, I think the American people should be asked to decide- not the SCOTUS. It needs to be the will of the people if gay marriage should be legal or not- not the decision of the courts.

Good point - its obvious that there was a split opinion among these judges (4-3) and it is not obvious that this is constitutional. I am sick and tired of federal and state judges making law from nothing. This should be decided by the people - We need to start flexing our muscle and force congress and our elected politicians to make the law not the judges in this country. Even if that means we (not me) elect liberal politicians and pass these type of laws - it is at least the will of the people. We must demand that activist and unconstitutional judges be removed.

If it goes to the Supreme Court, I only count three votes to support the ban (Scalia, Thomas, and Rehnquist)

Neither can be trusted if left to their own devices. We need to impeach and remove judges and put a solid conservative majority in power to restore and preserve the Republic.
