Re: Tucker Carlson: Kavanaugh chaos

That isn't something that lends itself to a simple answer without getting into theories of jurisprudence that a lay audience will likely be confused by. I agreed with the decision in Windsor because I felt DOMA exceeded Congress's enumerated powers. Obergfell is a much closer question because I do believe that this is a matter that is left to the states under our Constitutional system. That being said, I question whether this is covered under the Fourteenth Amendment in either direction. In other words, if a state chooses to permit same sex marriage I do not think the opponents can go to Court to challenge it under the United States Constitution or vice versa.
