And Judges of other states would not have to dissolve anything; they merely refuse to hear if the state does not recognize the ‘marriage’.

Obviously, you're not paying attention to what's actually happening now.

I am paying attention. It is federal judges that are making trouble and it is they that Cruz proposes to rein in.

If a state judge makes trouble then the voters of the state can amend their state constitution and no federal judge can interfere with the state amendment process under Cruz’ proposed amendment to the US Constitution.

In the case of California Proposition 8, the voters of California voted to amend their state constitution to define marriage and a homosexual FEDERAL judge ruled it unconstitutional under the US Constitution. Cruz’ amendment would stop that type of trouble-making dead in its tracks.

So Cruz’ amendment would not stop the trouble at the state level. It would stop it at the federal level. It is up to states to solve their own troublesome state judge problems.

As I said concerning California, California would have a same sex marriage ban in effect today if it were not for a homosexual activist FEDERAL judge.

And all the states that were just yesterday rebuffed by SCOTUS would have their same sex marriage bans in place if it were not for the abhorrent actions of FEDERAL judges which prompted the appeals to SCOTUS.
