I'll take a stab at it...
The latter is one of the reasons for the former. If there weren't activist judges distorting the will of the people, then there wouldn't be the need for the amendment. The presumed point is that it is illegal for two person's of the same sex to marry. Then Judges start challenging that presumption, therein lies the need for the amendment.

Okay... Thanks for that, but I still don't quite get it. Like, it shouldn't have to do with judges distorting the will of the people. What I understand from the legal ruling itself is not about what a majority wants. It is that they are saying they do not find that the constitution says gay marriage is wrong. And to me, that's consistent with someone saying we need to amend the constitution to MAKE it illegal. Do you see my point? I mean, does it make sense? It seems like if we argue that the judges are wrong and so that gay marriage is against the constitution, then we can't turn around and say that we need to add something to the constitution so that it says gay marriage is wrong.

This seems so obvious to me that I know must be simple. :)
