Considering Congress did not pass a law stating same sec couples can marry she is actually upholding the law. The Supreme court is not in the business of legislating.

Marriage is the law. The supreme court simply provided the equal protection under the law that already exists. So no, she's breaking the law.
-
That is not within the supreme courts power.
-
They and the constitution disagree with you. The supreme courts power is fairly broad. And how is a ruling on constitutional rights not within the supreme courts power? That is exactly what the federal court system is for.

Edited by Anti noise: 9/4/2015 6:49:49 PMThey gave a judicial opinion, they cannot change laws that are within the Constitution. They can only direct the congress to change said laws.
-
Show me where in the constitution it talks about marriage?
-
They can rule laws as unconstitutional, which is exactly what they did. They ruled that the laws the states were creating that banned same sex marriage were unconstitutional.
-
They can rule them unconstitutional yes. However that ruling does not end the law.
-
Yes it does That is the entire point of the branch
-
Actually, it does, which is why it is.
