It avoids having to deal with the internal
inconsistency in an administration claiming to be for freedom also coming
out against the idea same-sex marriage...to the point of promoting the
idea
of a constitutional ban.

It's not about gay marriage. No doubt they are against gay marriage, they
should be. The main issue is the US Constitution. I got married in
Minnesota. The Constitution says that all states must recognize my marriage
and all things that naturally occur as a result of that marriage, such as
hospital visitation, benefits, etc. If California passes a law making gay
marriage legal then all 49 other states would have to recognize it. No way
in hell this will ever happen. Therefore the feds will need to solve this
problem, one way or the other. The same principle applies with your drivers
license. Can you imagine what would happen if states didn't recognize other
states drivers licenses?
