[edit] DOMA discussion

The DOMA discussion is important information, but peripheral to the FF&C clause article (and vice versa).

Agreed with the [above] commentator [, Tahrlis,] that the "same-sex controversy" belongs as an Additional Link at the bottom (but I've made enough changes for today).

The DOMA, and even domestic relations issues generally, is but a part of the storied history of full faith and credit, and its implications for state sovereignty and federalism. Other recent parts of this story include right to die, drugs, status of travellers and workers, state immunity from lawsuits under the Eleventh Amendment, etc. Windy inclusion of "same-sex controversy" in the main article demonstrates lack of perspective.

Also, removed issue about conflicts between federal circuit courts, and their resolution by the US Supreme Court. This is not a Full Faith and Credit issue.

[edit] Non-neutral or not

I don't think the article [is] non-neutral, as the tag says. It could use additional details about the other applications (and nonapplications) of the clause, but I don't think this make the article slanted a particular POV. Triangular 21:23, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Licenses

For the layman, this article could use a section on licenses, such as a license to drive, and why they are or are not covered under this clause. Anybody? JonathanFreed 16:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
