No, these are two separate issues.
In 1967, the feds were actually VALIDLY enforcing the 14A which forbids state segregation laws.
Here, the feds have NO constitutional authority whatsoever to interfere with state marriage laws or to meddle with marriage in any way.

Thank you for this reminder. I am shocked that I failed to see the distinction between the Constitutional Ammendment process and the dictate by decree that we have today. I almost failed to see that distinction....
Both cases reference the same two Constitutional authorities: Due Process and Equal Protection. The issue of legality within any one state’s laws is a conflict that has happened before.
