It would seem that the nation would only have universal recognition of gay marriage through entirely new legislation, which would surely fail miserably in Congress.

My bad anticipation, I had misunderstanding as to what the law stated.
Anyways, while I agree the legislation forcing all states to recognize, much less allow, gay marriage would fail miserably in Congress, I don't think that's the only way for gay marriage allowed/recognized in all states. A Supreme Court decision could have that effect. However, as long as the court retains its current composition, that seems very unlikely.
