I think the difference is that the matter of Roe v Wade escalated that far and Gay Marriage has yet to do so (hopefully never). That doesn't mean the matter is up to the supreme court to decide upon. Not every controversy that makes it into the supreme court's plate is a constitutional matter; not every matter that is decided constitutionally relevant will truly be as such.

I think the problem here is how much faith and credibility you put into the people who actually handle the law-making.
