Since it appears that the U.S. Supreme Court has no trouble legislating from the bench, the various State Attorney Generals should treat their rulings as if they are proposed amendments to the Constitution and refuse to obey them until ratified just as amendments are expected to be ratified. In fact, the Republican Congress should offer new amendments to the Constitution for each of these ridiculous rulings so they can fail miserably in the legislative process clearly displaying that what was ruled by the court has NO basis of legislative support whatsoever and should be treated as the nonsense they are. The rulings we have seen recently can be treated as changing the Constitution. The States have a role to play in stopping this nonsense and this is one way to draw the line. You want same sex marriage, have two-thirds of Congress sign off, then a legal President, then three quarters of the individual states ratify it and it will be accepted as law of the land. The State Attorney Generals need to take a stand on behalf of States Rights and the future of this nation.
The U.S. Constitution places writing laws in the hands of the legislative body. The State Attorney Generals took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not cower from an out of control Supreme Court. No one has to obey unconstitutional laws. Article Four Section Four of the Constitution the The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government .
A republican form of government is one where you have someone representing your interest when things are being proposed, someone you voted for and can vote out of office if they don't. The Supreme Court is beyond your reach as a voter and are appointed for life. Having them legislate as they have is a DIRECT violation of Article Four, Section Four. Our State Attorney Generals need to ensure that we get the GUARANTEED republican form of government and reject the decrees of this court.

We demand our Free Republics!
The supreme court is now a political arm of the president and is legislating in accordance with the president’s wishes. We, as His subjects, have no recourse.
Pa. attorney general says she won’t defend state’s gay marriage ban
I love this.
Additional, Obama has demonstrated that he can withhold the DOJ, to ignor Federal law, why can’t the States do the same. ( re immigration)
Any Governer can say “ O yea, well we won’t be recognizing that law, too bad for you”
The Feds can sue the state, the state says go pound sand and protects the Church or business.
That would require that people like Boehner and McConnell have testicles. Sadly, they both had testiclectomies long ago.
