The Constitutions Full Faith and Credit clause trumps any Federal law.

Homosexual "marriage," among other things, is one state being able to dictate to all others a changing of the definition of one of the oldest and fundamental institutions on earth.

It's a shame that it's come to this (even debating homosexual "marriage" shows how low we've sunk), but an amendment is the only way to stop one court or one state from making homosexual "marriage" legal all over the USA.

You have equal protection and interstate commerce to worry about if it's a states rights issue.

Does "FF&C" give me the right to use my concealed carry permit in NY? If not, why not?

No court has struck the Defense of Marriage Act, has it?

This amendment is akin to using a bazooka to kill a fly.

only way to stop one court

How about making up a list of 50 judges who violate the law and constitution? Then, impeach them enmass.

Now that's what I would call 'checks and balances'.

Have you read the second part of the FFaC clause? That's what I thought the DOMA dealt with... it states that Congress may regulate how FFaC is handled.
***
Section 1. Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state. And the Congress may by general laws prescribe the manner in which such acts, records, and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof.
***
I could be reading it wrong.

If Texas has to recognize Mass. gay "marraiges", shouldn't they have to recognize Texas' CCW law?
