its ability to regulate marriage licenses


this is what states do not the Feds.

The Feds can legalize homo marriage but the state doesn’t have to issue the license.

RE:”The Feds can legalize homo marriage but the state doesn’t have to issue the license”

I believe the way this could play out is :

1) This law is passed making it illegal to pass out marriage licenses to same sex couples
2) Federal court orders Texas to pass out marriage licenses
3) Some clerks comply risking state prosecution.
4) Accused/convicted go to federal court getting law and conviction overturned.
