Dissenting

Description
I welcome the outcome of today’s decision as a significant improvement in our institution of marriage. Certainly it is a momentous change in that institution, and many people will rejoice at the new opportunities it opens up for them. However, because I do not think it is the proper role of the federal judiciary to effect such a change, I must respectfully dissent from what has been decided here today.
