How Full Faith and Credit and the Equal Protection Clauses affect the case?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: Answers may vary: The Full Faith and Credit Clause in Article IV has been interpreted to force states to recognize sister state laws and judicial rulings that do not run afoul to their own public policies. Another state could refuse to recognize the Massachusetts marriage. But if the U.S. Supreme Court were to hold the Loving precedent applied to Bill and Bob, then the Equal Protection Clause would mandate that all states recognized the Massachusetts marriage.
