#####Here's my question. Let's say gay couple A gets legally married in Massachusetts. Then, they move to a new state which does not recognize gay marriage, and, in fact, has an amendment defining marriage as that of a man and a woman. What happens then? Is the new state obliged to recognize the marriage from another state? Or does gay couple A have grounds to take it to the SCOTUS?#####


At that point, the other 49 states and the American people will be at the mercy of Justices Ginzburg, Breyer, Stevens, Souter, O'Connor, and Kennedy, a.k.a. the Sodomy Six.

Then at what point does the will of the American people supercede the will of the SCOTUS? If the American people vote for a 'defense of marriage' amendment, can the SCOTUS overturn it?
