How so? Marriages are performed under state law, not federal law. How does the court ruling on gay marriage demonstrate that the 14th Amendment applies to the federal government, rather than (as it explicitly says) the states?
- Turing_Machine 4y agoOne might also note that both the federal government and individual states have age limits on things like getting married, having sex, driving a car, buying alcohol, voting, etc. To the best of my knowledge, no such age limit has ever been successfully challenged on 14th Amendment grounds. Can you provide a citation to one?
