I guess such a thing would probably have to be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, but that's how I'm reading this.

Wouldn't the "Full Faith and Credit" clause have allowed interracial marriages to be legal in all states? It took a Supreme Court decision in 1967 (
Loving v. Virginia) to strike down miscegenation laws. I'm not sure if they used the 4th Amendment to justify the ruling, though.
