I think the implicit assumption of the 'SSM recognized but not performed' section is that any jurisdiction listed there has the authority to issue marriage licenses (whether opposite- or same-sex). Because the federal government does not have this authority--and any change to that seems highly unlikely--I think it's more accurate to list in the 'SSM legalized' section.<a href="/wiki/User:Ronnotronald" title="User:Ronnotronald">Ronnotronald</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Ronnotronald" title="User talk:Ronnotronald">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Same-sex_unions_in_the_United_States#c-Ronnotronald-2013-11-01T16:06:00.000Z-Federal_Government" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">16:06, 1 November 2013 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Ronnotronald-2013-11-01T16:06:00.000Z-Federal_Government"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2013-11-01T16:06:00.000Z","author":"Ronnotronald","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ronnotronald-2013-11-01T16:06:00.000Z-Federal_Government","replies":["c-Sceptre-2013-11-02T04:51:00.000Z-Ronnotronald-2013-11-01T16:06:00.000Z"]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Ronnotronald-2013-11-01T16:06:00.000Z-Federal_Government"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Sceptre-2013-11-02T04:51:00.000Z-Ronnotronald-2013-11-01T16:06:00.000Z"></span>I disagree; the federal government does have the right to <i>legalise</i> same-sex marriage, through two avenues: a Supreme Court decision that most likely declares marriage bans unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment, or a law forbidding marriage bans that exercises Congress's power under the same amendment. The decisions of <i>Perry</i> and <i>Windsor</i> are carefully worded to mandate federal recognition but not federal legalisation for the meanwhile. <b><a href="/wiki/User:Sceptre"
