If Congress doubled down on the BS scotus interpretation of the 14th, then they could make law on marriage for the states...but I am not sure we should go there. We need Congress to regulate the court and vacate this and other decisions..

You are absolutely right.

I would strip all lower courts of any jurisdiction to rule on the constitutionality of any state law or state action. The only court that would have jurisdiction would be the Supreme Court. I would then limit the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court by making any opinion of the Supreme Court on issues of State Law or State Action limited to the parties before it and that any decision on the constitutionality of a state law is limited in application only to the State that was sued or brought the suit.

Then the Supreme Court would likely not get involved in these social issues. They would have had to hear 50 Obergfelt cases instead of just one. That would tie up their docket for decades.

Roe v. Wade would have only applied to Texas if this were in effect back then.
