Marriage is a States Rights issue. SCOTUS made the correct ruling with that in mind.

With that in mind, why are FEDERAL judges imposing it?

SCOTUS did not make a ruling on this. But even though this issue is indeed a state rights issue, it WAS NECESSARY for SCOTUS to hear this BECAUSE FEDERAL COURTS BROUGHT IT.

Yes but homosexual unions are being forced on states because they supposedly are compelled by federal law and the Supreme Court’s prior decision on DOMA.

SCOTUS declined to intervene where federal courts made a federal issue of it. The result of the decision to deny cert is that several states were denied the right/power to make state law forbidding recognition of homosexual marriage, because state law would run afoul of the (federal) constitutional right to homosexual marriage.
