Wouldn't or couldn't is irrelevant. Now you're talking about the states right to make their own laws. That's been around for quite some time. But they still cannot just make laws willy-nilly that violate constitutional rights, are discriminatory, or otherwise ill-conceived, no matter how many damn people vote it into law.

And that's where judges come in. It's their job to decipher, interpret, and rule on the validity of the measures passed by the state. This one was found to be full of shit, and the judge did his job & rightfully shit-canned it.

The fact that you are so upset over what is a shining example of the process in action, tells me you are either extremely homophobic, or simply uneducated.
