It is not the rule of law. The Supreme Court subverted the Constitution with this decision. The 10th and 11th Amendment preclude the justices from making this decision. They had to violate the rule of law to decide in favor of gay marriage.
10th Amendment - The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
11th Amendment - The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State.
Obama bends the rule of law and this Country’s Constitution just to fit his warped sense of what the rule of law is.
