Re: The Power of the SCOTUS Part VI - Roberts rules disorder
On the recognition question, it's not as clear cut as Joe would have you believe. It was apparent at oral argument most of the justices felt if the 14th doesn't require states to perform same sex marriages, it can't compel them to recognize them, either.
And the full faith and credit clause isn't in play this time around, and the judiciary doesn't seem compelled to go there anytime soon for some reason.
