I realize that a State would lose federal highway dollars but could they if they wanted refuse to recognize another State's drivers license and ticket that State's drivers for driving without a license even if the driver possessed an out of State license?

As I said earlier, its not all licenses. There are a handful of states who license drivers before their 16th birthday.
Those licenses are not recognized outside of the state of issuance, generally.
Been a while since I've read up on that, but that's my recollection.

The court was petitioned to hear the case. They denied "cert" meaning they declined to hear the case.  Usually they will do this if they think the issue is not ripe (meaning there is no disagreement between lower circut courts), or for many other reasons.

I'm still a bit confused.

It requires the states to recognize legal documents from another state.

If I'm an unrestricted 16 year old driver and get pulled over in your state (that has a 17 year old driver's license requirement).   They give me a ticket for speeding/head light out, etc....how can they also give a ticket for 'no driver's license'?    I have a valid legal document from my state saying I can drive.     Now, if they give me a ticket saying "Driving Underage" (not mentioning the license itself), I could understand it...but if they say 'you don't have a valid license' (based on the age)...I'd say that violates the Full Faith and Credit clause(s).

I figure it would be the same if I could get married at 17 in my state...then move to your state (18 year age requirement)...and they cite me for 'cohabitation without marriage'...because 17 year olds can't get married in that state.

This is just thinking aloud, but you wouldn't have a valid license for the activity.  Georgia issues learner permits at 15.  Gotta have an adult over the age of 21 in the car, but you can do the driving.  If Alabama doesn't recognize that learner's permit and I drive into Alabama, I do not have a valid license to drive in Alabama.  So, by my thinking, an "invalid license" or even "no license" would be a reasonable ticket, because you don't have a license that would permit your activity in Alabama.

I don't want a national system of federal permits issued by the feds.  Hell no.  But nationwide reciprocity of state permits would be nice (decision at the federal level).  In reality I don't even like the whole concealed permit thing.  You shouldn't need a permit to carry a firearm.  But it is our reality and we have to deal with the very serious legal question of how to travel through multiple states while armed.  

I am all for states rights, however at some point you have to have a higher level of government to get the states to all agree. There is a valid application for a federal government, albeit very limited, in the scope of enforcing cooperation among the states, defense and international affairs.  Our country almost fell apart at one point because we did not have a federal government strong enough to take care of these issues.

You've missed the point. Apparently you've never paid attention to how your government works.
Rule Number 1: What you want in the way of regulation doesn't mean shit to a tree (to borrow a phrase). It also doesn't mean anything to FedGov.
If the FedGov passes a statute which requires that all states recognize carry permits from every state, it won't be long before politicians from states like NY complain that (fill in the names of many states) permit system is "too loose". After a few shootings by non-residents they will complain more loudly. Eventually the disarmers will get enough votes in Congress to enact a statute which imposes uniform regulations on the states which must be followed when issuing carry permits. Those regulations will be Progressively tightened until you won't be able to get a permit.

One would hope that everyone older than 20 years of age would be on to the game by now, be able to see how the game is played and be able to foresee the outcome.
One would hope in vain.
Here's a second rule you can live by: NO ONE EVER GAINED LIBERTY BY INVITING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO REGULATE ANY ASPECT OF THEIR LIFE. THE ONLY OUTCOME OF SUCH A MOVE IS A LOSS OF LIBERTY.

I don't see why not - but then again the only valid reason would be due to different licensing requirements.  I would suspect most restricted licenses might not be recognized universally.
