I suppose if one considers the states as territories, rather than sovereign entities, one has no problem with Congress stampimg their will on the states.

It was unclear to me if the author was referring to "territories" or states.

Because if it was territories, then Congress has sole juridiction over them.

I was under the impression she was comparing Congress' power over the territories in the case of polygamy to the current siutation of states in the case of same-sex marriage.
