Most Americans(and people in Congress) opposed interracial marriages until about 1990 or so, almost 30 years after Loving vs. Virginia was decided. This is why I oppose the reasoning of "letting the states decide", its a cop out, and even worse when you take in the rationale that gay marriage should be voted on, if the same was applied to interracial marriages, they would still be illegal to perform in quite a few states today.
