But those that wrote the Opinion and the dissents know more about this that I could ever pretend to. I just found it striking that every dissent pointed to this decision had nothing to do with the Constitution.  

Neither rewrote the Constitution. It also should not be surprising that every dissent disagrees with the majority opinion that the 14th Amendment prevents states from discriminating against same sex couples when it comes to protecting their right to marriage. Otherwise they would not be dissenting.

You need to understand that Justice Thomas saying that the majority is making up rights does not equate to the majority saying that they are making up rights. He clearly has a beef with substantive due process and makes it clear that he only wants the due process amendments applied in cases of procedural due process. That's a personal philosophical view of his that conflicts with how the 14th amendment has been applied in the past.
