Even the Supreme Court lacks the ability to put into the Constitution something that isn't there. You actually think they're above the Constitution and they're not. During the upcoming Constitutional convention, the states may decide to get rid of the Supreme Court altogether along with their legacy of perverting the Constitution.
That's not the way it works. If marrying whoever one wants is a "civil right" which has never been true in all of human history, then it needs to be explicitly included in the Constitution vis a vis constitutional amendment. You don't get to assume it's there when it's not and then demand the rest of us come up with a constitutional amendment to overturn your phantom "right".
Marriage is a right- the Supreme Court recognizes that it is a fundamental right- and has for over 50 years.
I am not assuming anything- i can read the courts decisions.
The Supreme Court has confirmed decisions overturning State's marriage laws three times that I am aware of- laws against mixed race marriages, laws which prohibited a man with past due child support from marrying and regulations against prisoners marrying.
You don't have to like the decisions, or even agree with them- but pretending that they don't exist and that they are not legally binding is just stupid.
