Because the federal government also controls commerce between the states (which is in the Constitution or implied at least) through an early Supreme Court case called Gibbons V. Ogden and can make laws that regulate said commerce between the states.

Notice you said it yourself the law says nothing about marriage within a state by residents of that state so the commerce clause does not apply</description>

I doubt that it&#039;s worded quite that way but even if it is, we&#039;re talking apples and oranges here.  People just aren&#039;t ready for same sex marriage so just get over it.  It&#039;s not going to happen no matter how loud you scream.</description>

Because the government says so and it can do what ever it wants.

Until we the people teach them other wise.</description>
