You are incorrect. The SC did not declare the entire Kentucky state marriage law unconstitutional, only the section that defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

Newbie.

You signed up today to post that stupid interpretation of the law? And you claim to be an attorney? What, are you with the ACLU?

I am an attorney, but one doesn’t need to be to understand that the entire marriage statute wasn’t struck down. Here’s the actual holding: “The Constitution, however, does not permit the State to bar same couples from marriage”

I disagree with the opinion, but nowhere in it did the court say that the entire marriage statute was unconstitutional, that would be silly.

Have you actually read the opinion?
