All of that legal theorizing might sound great, but it's not how any of this would work. If it were, one of the more conservative states would have filed a full faith and credit suit years ago. They haven't, and the stuff I wrote is the reason why.

It's a matter of what's right, vs. what's legal, vs. what can be moved successfully through the courts. None of those three are the same thing.

There's a fundamental difference between what you describe and what I describe.

You describe an individual suing a state to win recognition of an out-of-state permit (the second state has no standing to seek enforcement of its own permits outside of its boundaries). That implicates individual rights.

I describe a state suing to invalidate a federal rule that requires interstate recognition. That doesn't necessarily implicate any individual right.
