SCOTUS will ignore the Defense of Marriage Act, as it is mere legislation vs. "full faith & credit" which is in the Constitution

As they should.

There is no question that the Federal Constitution requres 50-state recognition of Massachusetts gay "marriages", and that DOMA, to the extent that it contradicts this plain fact, is unconstitutional.

DOMA will be struck down the first time it is challenged, probably within three months.

I hate the idea of an amendment (and it will rapidly become unmanageable, as court usurpations proliferate)-but it has to be done.

I agree wholeheartedly. I really don't want to amend the Constitution, but I just don't see any other way to stop this. Plus, if the amendment actually gets passed, it will serve notice to the courts that the people will act when the courts get too far out of line.

And, yes, DOMA is plainly unconstitutional. I think Clinton signed that with a wink and a nod to his homosexual supporters.
