Exactly right. Those who favor states rights on the marriage issue want to see same-sex marriage. They aren’t truly in favor of each state making a determination of whether they want homosexual marriage.

It’s good to see them be honest about their positions. Why doesn’t Obama just come out and say he favors homosexual marriage? He said he’s against it, but wants each state to decide, so he says. Yet he’s also in favor of repealing the federal marriage law. So on the one hand, he says let states decide (ya right) and on the other hand, he prefers there to be no law at the federal level defining marriage.

And with no law at the federal level, that leaves it wide open for future federal courts to say, well, there’s no law against same-sex marriage at the federal level, so just accept any definition of marriage from any state instead. That’s where this is headed.

And he obviously loves judicial activism, because he applauded the CA court’s usurpation of power that stripped away the will of the people.
