4. Article VI, cl. 2

Jul 2022

This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

The 14th Anendment guarantees equal protection, and due process. The Supreme Court (at least for now) has held that same sex marriage is protected by the Constitution, “the Constitution. . . of [Utah] to the Contrary notwithstanding.”
