But, let's say New York's high court decides that NY should recognize Massachusetts unions because the U.S. Constitution's Full Faith and Credit clause trumps the federal DOMA

HR 3313 should prevent that.

HR 3313 should prevent that. I'm glad. But I am not sure how. Does it prevent state courts from ruling on DOMA as it applies to the FFC clause? I thought it only stopped federal courts from ruling on the matter.
