A state consitutional provision which is violative of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, for instance, could be declared unconstitutional by a state judge. A state judge has as much power to rule based upon the U.S. Constitution as a federal judge does.

I just read the opinion from your link, and it opens Pandora's Box. Using the rationale of this case, there's no reason why three people or an entire football team can't choose to get married.

Multiple marriage partners was not before the court, but I don't see how he would decide differently.
