Hillary said marriage should be a constitutional right: http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/04/15/shifting-position-clinton-says-gay-marriage-should-be-a-constitutional-right/. So if she wins in 2016, that technical difference wouldn’t matter. Assuming she would follow through and declare marriage as a constitutional right.[/quote]

I think you know better than that. Presidents don’t have the power to make declarations like that. Only the supreme court can decide, with any legal authority, whether a law is constitutional.[/quote]
Yes, but president can appoint justices and the bench is already leaning in the direction of marriage being a conditional right. So having a president who believe it should be doesn’t hurt. Again, we’ll find out soon enough.
