Right. That is what they are afraid of. People do not want their marriages wiped out, just on the whim of state republicans, as they cannot be trusted not to go for it, if they don't like it, and there are a lot of republicans controlling state legislatures that don't like it, to this day. They thought the law of the land was the law of the land, but now know, that if it is just based on a decision of the Supremes, it is only valid until there is a clear majority of the court and then everything the Supremes ruled on, is up for grabs. If people across the country are going to get to keep things, they thought were settled law rights, they will just have to get through Congress or see it go away, based on politics of the moment.
Don't sweat it. Legislation is how the country was supposed be run, not the whim of the court, carving out and then taking away, as they were never elected and almost impossible to get rid of. Simple law of averages points toward the fact, if they do something once, that they have never done before, the chances they could do a similar thing again, go up 100%.
Relax and watch the fun. If the Senate is blocked from passing this law protecting gay marriage, by conservative procedural trick, a hell of a lot of Republican seats (thought safe) will change in the fall, both at national office and state office, and everybody knows it, so best they be on the correct sided of it, whatever that might be.
