As I, have often said, the most danger to our constitution comes from the ones that are "sworn" to uphold its "guaranteed rights".....the arbitrators of such, in the form of the self professed power of judicial review, as they define this power to constitute or change law by their opinion only. The proper cure for this "legal" impasse should come in the form of a state "constitutional" amendment...legalizing homosexual marriage, as no sitting judge has the power to incorporate their will upon the people, by opinion only, there must be a law that is being breeched. The only law being breeched was the "imagined" law that came from the bench, that found homosexual activity to be of humanitarian concern, but the people did not. These judges work for the people, and the people make the laws, and just how one could find a state constitutional breech after many decades of legal precedent coming before that defined marriage...is just beyond all logical reasoning, unless someone has a political agenda to fulfill via way of the bench instead of the mandated will of the people.
