| 5. So much for states rights |

"Let the states decide" the conservatives say. OK fine. Vermont (and soon maybe Massachusetts) decide to have gay marriage.
"Well! That's not what we meant! The constitution must ban all gay marriages."
The same scenario would play out if Roe v. Wade was overturned. Conservatives would start by saying that abortion should be a state decision, until states like New York, California etc, decided to keep abortion legal. Then the Amend the Constitution Crowd would come out of the woodworks.
