33. Ack, that does not create a right in the constitution
If it did, there wouldn't be any question to gay marriage.

There is a difference between an actual constitutional right, and States having to implement policy equally.

There's no right to education in the constitution. But states must implement education equally for the same reason they must implement marriage equally.

Breathing is a basic civil right of man, but there's no right to clean air in the constitution.
