“There’s not much question which way the decision will go: same-sex couples are going to prevail. The logic is plain:”

"same-sex couples are going to prevail. The logic is plain:”

The logic is plain. Their interpretation is convoluted.

In the case they cited, the court "ruled that the Constitution bars the federal government from treating traditional marriages differently from same-sex marriages in states that legalize both".

States define marriage. The federal government must recognize that marriage, whatever it is. As it should be.

That ruling says nothing about whether another state has to recognize that marriage, nor does it instruct the states who qualifies for marriage.
