Well, well...now you are defending something called "The Defense of Marriage Act signed into law by that renown defender of marriage William Jefferson Clinton. A law which clearly violates the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution -- "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." -- it's that "privileges" word that you love so dearly!

Now, you are defending the Federal Government's violation of the Constitution so that you can attack what you perceive to be the violation of the Constitution by the SCOTUS.

You are starting to remind me of my cat when he used to run in circles chasing his own tail.

According to the Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873), that privileges and immunities clause of the 14th Amendment only protects privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, not privileges and immunities of state citizens.

If you want to make the argument that the 14th Amendment nullifies Article IV, Section 1, go for it.

Article. IV.

Section. 1.

Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.

It's on the basis of this Section of the Constitution that Congress has the power to enact the Defense of Marriage Act. Ask around.
