Read what Carson actually said and not the rephrasing by that site. He was talking about judicial law vs. legislative law which is how the separation of powers is defined in the Constitution.
Here is what Carson said:
“First of all, we have to understand how the Constitution works, the president is required to carry out the laws of the land, the laws of the land come from the legislative branch,” Carson said. “So if the legislative branch creates a law or changes a law, the executive branch has a responsibly to carry it out. It doesn’t say they have the responsibility to carry out a judicial law.”
Carson is saying that the President doesn't have to follow the Supreme Court if they invalidate same-sex marriage bans.
He's super-wrong.
