No. It wouldn't. And what is the point of limiting it to sub-constitutional state legislation?

Have you heard of the living constitution?
Unless it is specifically noted that applying marriage, or its legal incidents, to anything other than one man and one woman is prohibited from the constitutions then a judge is bound to find it there.
I have looked long and hard where the U.S. Constitution has a 'right to privacy', or where that 'right' allows a woman to murder his children. I cannot find it, but the activist judges have; and I can tell you that if before Roe vs. Wade a clause were in the constitution noting that abortion is not a constitutional right, then even SCOTUS could not have added it in there.
Live in the real world, that is what conservatism is all about, not some fantasy world where judges do their jobs.
