"As long as the 14th Amendment is also the law of the land, in any conflict between a state vis-a-vis same-sex marriage contracted in another state, and the way SCOTUS seems to be interpreting the "privileges and immunities" clause these days (i.e., as against state interest), which side do you think would prevail in that fight?"

Betty, I posted legal precedent answering that question, not only that, but the 11th. Amendment clearly takes the SCOTUS out of that scuffle.

Luis, it may well be as you say. But you have more faith in stares decisis than I do! :^) All my best -- bb.
