Facinating how our Founders, courts, Congresses, Presidents missed this for well over 200 years, that Gay marriage is a Constitutional right.

used to, the definition of words used to mean something and did not need to be placed in constitution - that is, that a marriage requires a husband and a wife (ergo, no need to define it specifically as one man and one woman). All it takes is judicial notice of that definition to have tossed this out.

How can the federal government tell the states how it can or cannot amend its constitution in regards to queer marriage?

Considering the Founders believed homosexuality was a serious crime, we can conclude they never intended homosexual marriage to be a right.

There needs to be a day when judges like this were forced out of their robes and into picking up guns and fighting a civil war. This sort of tyranny has to stop some time.

This judge is legally and intellectually bankrupt.

The Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment does indeed apply to all people - but it is ludicrous to assert that the framers of that amendment meant that to include behavior that [to them] was a crime against society, a crime against nature, and a crime against God.

Just because the language does not disallow it does not mean that it is there to permit it ...

Can you blame them? They missed a woman's "right" to an abortion for almost as long.
