...on the ground that the federal government must recognize as legally married any couple who are legally married under the laws of their home state

But that still wouldn't force other states to recognize faggot "marriages" performed in faggot states.

No, but we will then see later cases arguing that the Constitution's Full Faith and Credit Clause requires each state to recognize marriages performed in another state.

I don't practice family law, and I haven't researched this, but I am sure there is caselaw from back in the day when interracial marriages were illegal in some states and legal in others. I do remember learning in law school a legal maxim, "A marriage valid where celebrated is valid everywhere."
