The ruling opened the door to suing states that won't recognize same sex marriages the same way they recognize other marriages. Now watch states start falling in line, because they already know how the court is going to rule.

Not true. There is no reason at present for states that limit marriage to traditional couples to "start falling into line". A number of states have traditional marriage as part of their state constitutions. It will be difficult for any federal court to infringe upon the sovereignty of individual states.

The Tenth Amendment is still a most powerful and prominent part of the US Constitution.

States are not required to fall in line with other states on strictly state matters. For example, when I drive to South Carolina, I travel a goodly number of miles on I-77. While in West Virginia, the speed limit is usually 70 mph. When I cross the border into Virginia, the speed limit is 65 mph. When I then cross into North Carolina, the speed limit goes back to 70 mph.

All the while, I am traveling on I-77. However, if I drive 70 mph in Virginia, I can get a ticket for speeding while that is not the case in the other two states. Why? Local control. It is an example of the Tenth Amendment at work. Marriage laws should be no different and, at present, are no different.

Of course, put another wild-eyed liberal on the USSC to replace one of the conservatives and our whole body of established law could well be shredded.
