what the federal govt should do is ensure that other states are not forced to accept MA’s gay marriage.

Just wait until a federal court decides that every state must recognize butt-sex marriages blessed by MA. Then it will be a federal issue and it'll be to d@mned late to do anything about it.

You’re not getting it...
Marriage is a federal issue because the states are obliged to recognize each others’ marriages. The alternative is that you would have to resubmit for a marriage license every time you crossed state lines... and then you’d have multiple marriage licenses, creating all sorts of legal contests over jurisdiction in the event of separation.
