"Make no mistake about what has happened."
Speaking to a crowd near the court, she said the court has decided that it stands in a better position than Congress to determine how to protect against voting discrimination.
"The 15th amendment to the constitution makes clear that it is Congress that has that power."
On Wednesday morning, a different crowd waited outside the court building. Supporters of same-sex marriage cheered when the Supreme Court canceled a federal and a state law on the issue.
The court said the 1996 federal law called the Defense of Marriage Act violated the rights of same-sex couples. The court said that the government could not prevent same-sex couples from getting the same tax, health and retirement benefits as traditional husbands and wives. Supporters of the laws promised to continue efforts to limit marriage to legal unions of one man and one woman.在最高法院裁决后不久就有几个州宣布 ，他们将重启被司法部门禁止的投票规定。

周三早上，一群不同的人等候在最高法院大楼外。在最高法院取消了一部联邦和一部州限制同性婚姻的法律后，支持者们欢呼雀跃。
