The solution is to just not heed the judge’s ruling

Queers that think they are married should be sternly advised to move to California

Doesn’t work that way. Oh, state governments can cry and moan and bloviate and appeal and postpone and otherwise buy time. However, sooner or later the Supreme Court will declare for the federal government (as always) and the governor of the obstinate state will get a polite phone call from the White House. For decades states have leeched millions from the federal government, faced with the threat of financial retribution, state governments will fold like cheap lawn chairs.

There needs to be a dialog between the states, that they are sovereign and can enforce their rights when the federal judiciary is out of control. Just REFUSE to give the licenses. If the feds sue, just don’t pay. The ultimate end of it all will be whether the feds are willing to send in the troops to force a state to submit.
