All they [Congress] would have to do is remove from all federal courts the power to deal with matters of same-sex marriage. Problem solved.

I don't think Congress has that constitutional power. What portion allows it?

You were responding to it at #4. Congress has complete power to define the jurisdiction of the lower courts, and to make exceptions to the appellate jurisdiction of the supreme court.
