>Not if that particular portion of your state’s Constitution is struck by the US Supreme Court.

And how, pray tell, could they legitimately strike down a portion of a STATE Constitution when their jurisdiction is a Federal Constitution stating that all the powers NOT expressly delegated to the Federal Government are either the state’s or the people’s power? (See amendments 9 & 10.)

PS — Marriage is not delegated to the federal government in Federal Constitution, therefore it must be either the state’s or the people’s power.

"PS — Marriage is not delegated to the federal government in Federal Constitution, therefore it must be either the state’s or the people’s power."

Education is not delegated to the federal government in the US Constitution, either. But, I do recall some decisions with names like Brown v. Board of Education.

If you're expecting a liberal court to show judicial restraint based on the 10th, you're going to be disappointed, every time.
