It directly contradicts specific Constitutional mandate that states must give 'full faith and credit' to acts of other states.

It is deliberately and openly a declaration some citizens are to be denied equal treatment by the Federal government.

I hope the President nominates you for the next open position of Supreme Court Justice. Even if you have little knowledge of the law, you would be a much better SCOTUS Justice than at least 4 of the conservative justices on the SCOTUS right now, who are apparently terminally mentally befuddled and logic challenged, and who could not think their way out of a paper bag five minutes after reading the manual that came with the bag.

Let's see, who is more qualified ~ The Magistrate, or Antonin Scalia?

No brainer.
