They federalized the definition (and didn't say it couldn't be defined) to reflect the 14th amendment and due process ruling. They didn't claim it was undefinable.

Reasonable people can disagree over the application of the equal protection and due process overriding the 10th. The two of us do. That's not the same as the state can't define marriage.

That's basically what they did with the ruling though. Granted, they defined what the Federal Gov't is saying what States should recognize now. It's ticky tacky. But it's still entertaining and kinda makes a point of Federal intervention on States Rights.
