There is no need to amend the Constitution.

Congress can, and should, bar any appeals to the Supreme Court regarding State laws regarding marriage. Congress can do this by simple majority vote, Presidential signature not required, Presidential veto not permitted.

Congress can and will not because their leadership said it’s settled science.

This sounds promising if, solely by its own majority vote, the two Houses of Congress may remove SCOTUS jurisdiction and ALL other federal court jurisdiction as well. According to the Heritage Foundation's analysis, scholars differ with some supporting that position and others (the usual gang of suspects) claiming that jurisdiction must be allowed to continue in either SCOTUS or lower federal courts.

I tend to agree with you. I think that, if the votes are there, Congress should promptly remove ALL SCOTUS and other federal court jurisdiction over abortion, marriage and school prayer, just for starters.
