Unfortunately / luckily (depends on who you ask and what the subject is) we don't have a single supreme court enforcing / interpreting law for the entire union.

In terms of gay marriage that is good for the US: I think if every state could decide it for themselves a lot of them wouldn't have by now. Look at how slow marijuana legalisation is in both the US and EU when states can decide for themselves. I think my country NL has been at it solo for 40 years or so. It's easy to think things like these go like dominos but they really don't most of the time. Although I'm glad the other EU nations can't for their ideas on us a lot of the time.. so it's a trade off I guess.
