The court issued an unconstitutional order; now let's see try to carry it out own its own.

The court did not issue an order. It issued an advisory opinion.

Actually, if I recall correctly, the court originally gave the legislature six months to change the law (i.e, to legalize gay marriage) or they (the supreme court) would order gay couples to be issued marriage licenses regardless of what the law said. Some politicians tried to find some lame middle ground by asking the court if civil unions could be substituted for marriage. The court's response was to declare that nothing short of total obedience to their order to legalize gay marriage would be accepted.
