Matt, the framers of the constitution were silent on "Gay marriage"

I don't think it ever crossed their minds to make it a right. There had always been— the "Institution of Marriage" between a man and a woman.

If a person (a supreme court justice, for instance) is a strict constitutionalist, then he cannot make "gay marriage" legal. He has no remedy. However,if the states hold a convention on the issue, and if 3/4 of the states ratify it or affirm it, and then Congress ratifies it, it becomes the law of the land without recourse.

That hasn't happened. Some states legalized it, others haven't. It has always been a state's rights issue, not a federal issue. I am only speaking about the powers delegated to the specific branches of government, not whether I agree with the decision of the court or not.

The Supreme Court made law. It is not within the scope and authority of the Court, Constitutionally speaking, to do so. It has overstepped its authority delegated to it by the Constitution.

We may as well have no Constitution.
