The Davises do not, and a hefty chunk of the blame for their confusion can be assigned to Justices Scalia, Thomas, Alito and-most of all-Chief Justice Roberts. Yet the Governor, who personally disagrees with the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize gay marriage, understands his duty to uphold the constitution.
