***The rulings in these cases are law until they are sometimes changed.***
The Supreme Court CANNOT WRITE LAW! They offer opinions on the Constitutionality of law. They have voided the marriage laws of all the states whose laws do not comport with the opinion of the court that due to the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, not allowing SSM in all states is unconstitutional.
Kentucky is one such state that now has no valid marriage laws until the legislature convenes and addresses the issue.
I am of the opinion that the Supreme Court overstepped its bounds by using the 14th amendment incorrectly.
I agree that they may have overstepped, but they do have final say.
