All this personally decreed law just gets undone in the next administration. Holder is the key to Obama. The law can uphold or destroy morality.

Wrong. Once persons have rights, it's much, much harder to take them away legally. For example, bankruptcy proceedings. How would a future administration walk back recognition of same sex partners in a bankruptcy proceeding?

Pick a kill date and going forward it’s over.

There is a difference between federal law(s) and those from the states. How you might ask?, and thus I shall answer for you. Laws in states conferring the rights to use drugs such as Weed (Washington, Colorado, and immanent in Alaska) will result in those exercising this right to be denied security clearances by the Federal Government. The Federal Government can also confer a law onto a State, but the mechanism for enforcement is almost always, always and if not always, usually, by attaching its enforcement monies already given to the States under a prior program and that program's Federal monies pulled or taken away if compliance at the state level is not grandfathered into prior acceptance (See Title X, the schools, etc.).

Simply mandating at the Federal Level a right does not make it law if it conflicts with the State's law(s), however, your point that it creates a grey area whereas the uneducated and militant left are concerned does make it a force to be reckoned with in the future.

True, but please put "rights" in parentheses in this context. You aren't given true rights; they're yours anyway.

Even if a federal marriage amendment were passed and enacted, it is highly unlikely that the sodomites which have appropriated "marriage" would be undone. If fact, there would be a rush to inundate the system with frivolous "Marriages" before the amendment was effective, just out of spite.
