I understand, Common Law and Civil Unions are subject to the applicable laws of each state, and I have no problem with that, But when a State Court rules on this subject as if it was a case of Civil Rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution, it opens the door wide for that decision to be used as "Case Law" in another State which could be appealed to the federal level and raise concerns with States rights, and will probably need an amendment to the US Constitution in order to settle it
