He says the 14th Amendment requires that marriage be redefined, but the question was whether Massachusetts had to follow federal law in administering federal programs It sounds like a tax and spending clause problem, but I haven't looked into this one too much. It's pretty well settled, though I don't like it, that Congress can put whatever strings it wants on spending grants to the states under federal programs, so long as the string has some connection with the program.
