Running from what? I said what I believe bro. As you pointed out a few posts later. I'm merely pointing to the fact that a few people on this thread were mistaken in thinking that the article referenced DOMA in any way.No one said you said "the article mentioned DOMA" What was pointed out that it was *you* who mentioned DOMA and you expressed the opinion that DOMA had something to do with the decision.
Now you're running away from it and tossing out straw men in a futile attempt to distract from what you said.
Further, I believe DOMA has effect on other cases involving marriage. Your claim is that our justice system DOESN'T consider precedents that have been set? If I were a judge and saw that section 3 of DOMA had been struck down, I would take that as setting the precedent that no gov't entity can restrict who gets married to who. I BELIEVE that this held weight in this particular case. Now, instead of your standard "well that's just stupid/a strawman/dumb" counterpoint, lets hear why you think I'm wrong.
