When you say gov't, you mean the judiciary, which has developed doctrines such as Rooker-Feldman, to do essentially that? Or do you mean Congress, which is all-powerful and is free to ignore almost any result a state reaches?

I meant Congress, inasmuch as Article IV doesn't refer only to certain branches of the federal government. But it would appear to apply to states respecting other states' judgment, as opposed to a decision by the federal government to undo retroactively a state judgment.
