"The Judiciary Act is hereby amended as follows: The Supreme Court may not hear appeals regarding the law of marriage, nor appeals regarding matters of sex"
That would make it even worse. The federal Circuit Courts would be able to rule on such issues without the Supreme Court being able to play traffic cop. And even if you denied federal jurisdiction to all federal courts, you'd have state supreme courts usurping the state legislatures and allowing gay marriage. We need to amend the Constitution to make sure the liberal judicial elites don't overrule the will of the American people, Judeo-Christian ethics and thousands of years of Western Civilization.

There are plenty of conservative state supreme courts. The Texas court let stand Lawrence after all. And it wouldn't matter anyway, as the state supreme court would be fufilling their proper role; not putting their nose where it dosen't belong like the federal Supreme Court did. Even if a state supreme court did declare such a law unconstitutional, it is very easy to amend a state constitution. The Texas Constitution has been amended over 400 times.
