I think it was Huckabee that posted on Facebook - there is no law in Kentucky that allows for marriage between same sex couples. The Court’s ruling didn’t make a new law, it can’t. Only congress can do that.
AND - the Constitution of Kentucky says it’s between a man and a woman.
Does the Supreme Court have the authority to invalidate a state constitution?
THAT is a great question!
And does the Kentucky Governor have the authority to order a County Clerk
a) to violate the Kentucky Constitution?
b) to violate her oath to uphold the Kentucky Constitution?
Cordially,
Yes, under the Supremacy Clause, the federal Constitution trumps "anything in the Constitution or Laws of any State." Brown v. Board of Education, for example, invalidated several state constitutions which required school segregation.
