Good, then they can get slapped down by the highest court in the land.
Now we get to the real issue. What if that happens and Texas refuses to comply? How far will the Federal Government push it? They have backed off of Colorado on the MJ law.
Over 55% of the US population already supports SSM. Why change tactics when we are already winning?

In 1967 the Supreme Court applied the 14th Amendment to Texas civil marriage law and ruled Texas' ban on interracial marriage to be unconstitutional. Texas' interracial marriage ban had much more popular support then that Texas' gay marriage ban does now.
If Texas didn't refuse to comply with an order of the Supreme Court over ending its practice of banning interracial marriage, I don't it see doing so over a much less contentious issue.
Intended to grant citizenship to former slaves and nothing to do with gay marriage.
You cant be discriminated against due to gender. Gay marriage bans are by their definition discriminating because of the gender of one of the individuals.

Your opinion matters. It just doesn't trump the rights of others. Sorry.
