Libertatian and Christian agreement on homosexual marriage

I have been reading a lot from the Cato Institute blogs lately and agree with much of what they publish. They had a blog entry against a constitutional amendment to define marriage. I think on the federal level both Christians and libertarians could agree to pass a law preventing federal judges from ruling on the definition of marriage by removing it from their jurisdiction (See Constitution excerpt below). That would truly leave the question of homosexual marriage up to states.

Article III, Section 2
In all cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and consuls, and those in which a State shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all the other cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction, both as to law and fact, with such exceptions and under such regulations as the Congress shall make.
