The time has come for traditional values states (like my home of Oklahoma) to quickly pass legislation that refuses to grant reciprocity to ALL marriages issued by any state that has homosexual marriage after the date homosexual marraiges began in that state (the rationele being that recognized homosexuality invalidates the states legitimacy to certify any marriage). So, in Oklahoma, any married couple moving to that state...to include military couples....that married in a state allowing homosexual marriage the the time the couple married...would NOT be recognized as married in Oklahoma. IF the couple desired to receive state controled marriage rights..they would have to remarry in Oklahoma or a state recognized as OK by Oklahoma.

The spouses of even a military couple would be impacted if the non-military spouse works in the state (even a federal job) because they have to pay state income tax. Treat them as single...and TAX THE LIFE OUT OF THEM. Make it PAINFUL to be outside the homophile states and you will force them to rethink their stances. The states must be prepared to ignore this SCOTUS or any future SCOTUS or POTUS actions that the state does not endorse. Federal courts should be totally ignored as well when they violate the long standing laws and customs of a state.

Also, the time has come for all “landmark” SCOTUS decisions to be held as “pending” until ratified by states as a constitutional ammendment must be. Ammending the COTUS via the SCOTUS needs to end...or at least require ratification just like proper ammendments to the COTUS.

The big problem with that idea is that it would probably be struck down as unconstitutional owing to the terms of the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Constitution (Article IV Sec.1) which reads:

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.
