Agreed but when it comes to interstate travel and the recognizing of laws across states that is a federal issue

If that was true, then the Mass. Supreme Court decision wouldn't be such a big deal. If this law did what it claims to do, then either 1) a state couldn't allow for gay marriage or 2) a gay marriage in Mass. wouldn't be recognized in any other state.

The fact that everyone considers the Mass. decision to be so dangerous suggests that conservative legal scholars don't have much faith in the 1996 law.

This is why Bush said during his State of The Union speech that if Federal judges keep legislating from the bench and do not carry out laws passed then he will suggest an amendment to the constitution that recognizes marriage between a man and a woman.

IMO Mass. Supreme Court members should be unseated from their bench much like the 9th circus court for making a mockery of law and NOT carrying out their duties of their respective appointed positions.
