Federal judges who decide cases where they have no jurisdiction are black robed tyrants. That would be at either side of the argument.
Look guy! If Californians vote to change the definition of marriage, I don't believe SCOTUS has authority to step in there either. Are we clear?
And SCOTUS wouldn't have had to step in had it not been for these untethered federal judges exercising power they don't have.
'untethered federal judges exercising power they don't have'
Loving v. Virginia established that Federal judges absolutely do have the power to rule that a State marriage law is unconstitutional.
And far from 'untethered'- each judges ruling is subject to appeal to a higher court, leading ultimately to the Supreme Court- which is exactly how our system works.
And don't give me the usual crap about Loving being different- the power the judges are exercising is the exact same power exercised in Loving.
