Short of militarily conquering the United States Government and other states with the Massachusetts Highway Patrol, Massachusetts can not force any other state to recognize the legal validity of a Massachusetts same-sex marriage.

I'm simply puzzled you would post this less than a week after the USSC ran roughshod over the first amendment. The USSC will do what it wants; the full faith and credit clause will be the vehicle.

Precisely.

The power rests with SCOTUS.

The Supreme Court of Massachusetts is as irrelevant to the final outcome of this issue as the Supreme Court of Florida was to the final outcome of the 2000 Presidential election.
