The Supreme Court will have to weigh in eventually b/c of the full, faith & credit clause of article IV of the Constitution --- each state has to uphold the laws & statues of it's sister states --- therefore there will be tricky constitutional issues to tackle once states like Massachusetts legalize gay marriage. Under the Constitution the other states would have to recognize the marriages performed in Mass -- the Supreme Court has not yet ruled or even heard this case/controversy --- and that's why there is talk of a 'constitutional amendment’ b/c it will take the final decision out of the courts, who right now will be the final arbiter.
