The culture war is back.
A federal judge’s ruling Wednesday striking down California’s ban on same-sex marriage is a historic and possibly pivotal legal victory for gay rights advocates, but the decision also poses a formidable threat to President Barack Obama’s strategy of relegating divisive social issues to the back burner.
U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker’s decision is just the latest in a series of rulings and high-profile legal challenges drawing public attention to gay rights issues in a sustained way for the first time since San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom grabbed headlines in 2004 by okaying same-sex marriages in that city.

Okay so here is my question. The people of CA voted to change their state constitution. Now a federal judge is telling them that what they voted to change is no good.
Was it not that the fed was created for a limited number of items: defense of country, agree to treaties with other countries, etc.. but everything else was up to the states & how they wanted to handle it?
