Obergefell should be rescinded, and marriage law should reflect the ideal of one man and one woman for life.

“Obergefell should be rescinded”

Get the goober-mint out of the marriage business.
You wanna marry a frog, your GTO, a man, a woman and a non-binary fluid human, go ahead. None of my business.

It’s all handled under simple contract law.

Shouldnt have to get permission from the state to get married.

I agree that Obergefell was wrongly decided but not in the way most conservative think. Marriage is the purview of the states, not the federal government. The only exception is states cannot limit marriage due to race because of the 14th Amendment.

IMHO the correct legal decision in Obergefell would have been that states decide who can or cannot get married so those states that had legalized same sex marriage are allowed to do that and states that had not legalized it were also allowed to do that.

But under the full faith and credit clause of the constitution a state must recognize a marriage that is legal in one state in it’s state.

Therefore any same sex marriage in the five or six states that had legalized it to this point were valid and had to be recognized by the other states.

This is the reason I always believed we needed a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a women.

It will take much more than rescinding Obergefell, which was just the final blow in a long, sustained attack in destroying marriage. Before that, Windsor will need to be dealt with, and then Lawrence which made the modern homo-Nazis march possible. Then before that Romer would need to be reversed, allowing states and cities to prohibit “anti-discrimination laws” against homosexuals and other perverts. Then Griswold would have to be dealt with, the case which effectively severed the link between sex and procreation.
