All of it really? Even my citations and links?
Cite for me how many times in Windsor 2013 the federal Court mentions how states have the final say on marraige under the specific question of same-sex marriage. My count is 56 times in 26 pages.
That's 56 citations in Windsor of State marriage law being supreme over Federal Marriage law.
But that's not the basis of the challenges to same sex marriage bans that the USSC is hearing this year. The violation of constitutional guarantees is the basis of every such challenge...
Exactly where in the Constitution is it mentioned that any conceivable lifestyle has the "civil right" to marry across all 50 states as a mandate? If your attorneys cite cases about race, be advised, the Anne Heche problem is going to come up...along with the reasons why states are involved in incentivizing marriage to begin with: to incentivize the best known formative environment for kids. See Prince's Trust study for details on how kids without their own gender represented as a daily adult role model can be damaging to them.
Wolves can raise kids. So can single parents and polygamists. That doesn't mean those alternative "parents" should be incentivized by a given state's discreet community without the majority weighing in on the new proposed "lifestyle experiment". There are kids to consider. And into the unforseen future. They will be discussed at this Hearing..
