It's not in the Supreme Court's authority to legalize g @ y marriage. The authority is for the state government alone
Amendment X
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."

"It's not in the Supreme Court's authority to legalize g @ y marriage. The authority is for the state government alone
Amendment X"
part of amendment xiv-
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States"
one of the privileges of being a us citizen is marriage; states made and enforced laws that violated that privilege
therefore it goes to supreme court

| Marriage is a civil institution, MaskedClaus. Not a right. Therefore the state can make whatever laws it wants as long as the majority of the citizens of the state agree on it. |

Marriage provides federal tax benefits, ergo it is a legal status and can be ruled by the Supreme Court on a federal level. I don't give a damn about religious marriage. |

when did i say it was a right
i said it was a privilege, which is also what the amendment says
the supreme court decided that according to the 14th amendment, lgbt marriage should be legal as marriage is also a privilege citizens of the us have
are you trying to argue against people who have spent years studying law and legality |

Getting married isn't a right. Marriage is a civil institution that all societies in history have recognized and used as the best way to legitimize, protect and raise children as well as to solidify familial and political connections.
The law doesn't unfairly deny anyone of the ability to marry. The law — and others like it — defines and recognizes marriage as a union between one man and one woman. It doesn't exclude anyone from marrying. The law treats a het3ros3xeual person the exact same way it treats a hom0s3xual person, with both prohibited from marrying a person of the same s 3 x. |

never did i say marriage is a right, stop strawmanning
the law did unfairly deny people the right to marry
implying that marriage strictly is between a man and a woman is denying the fact that throughout history, the rules governing marriage have changed

| Where in the constitution does it mention marriage at all? Because it is not present, according to the 10th amendment, it is the state's responsibility to make any laws not specified in the constitution |

In the 14th amendment it says pretty much no matter what state you live in, you must make equal laws for all.
LGBT marriage was banned in some states, but non-lgbt people could marry. They created equal laws so LGBT people could marry. The 10th ammendment was overrulled because of the 14th amendment. |

and the supreme court decided that since marriage is a privilege available to us citizens, therefore it falls under the 14th amendment
besides that though, trying to argue that something shouldnt exist because the constitution says so is foolish when its obvious that the constitution is changed according to the times and needs of society
even the founding fathers stated that the constitution should be rewritten and changed
"Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of nineteen years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force, and not of right." |

| The law doesn't discriminate unfairly to anyone. Marriage is the union of a male and female, and h0m0s3xuals can do that as well (marry someone of the opposite s 3 x). It isn't unequal. |

| The constitution is old but not outdated. You cannot remove or rewrite what was meant to be the foundation of this country and keeps the federal government in check from tyranny, though apparently it is not working, because they have overstepped their authority. |
