So, I open my email this morning and my niece has sent me a link to this story with a note that says, "See, more evidence that states are able to make their own decisions on these matters so a federal marriage amendment is unnecessary. That old boogeyman the Full Faith and Credit Clause didn't stop RI from saying no." How should I reply?

The non-uniform definitions of a basic fact, that marriage is between a man and a women, has led to this quagmire where so-called 'married' people are not allowed to divorce. This is more a perfect example why marriage needs to be defined to stop a few rogue states from creating a mess.

That’s a good answer too — probably a better one.
