Hey maybe now a Soldier's husband or wife will get the same benefits as another Soldier's husband and wife.

Just like Heller.
Of course, we won't hear anythiong about that from the left.
Not morally.
Here's my prediction/paraphrase of Scalia's dissent: "Big government bad, unless, of course, it's to keep them pesky fags in their place."
Only if you are a sodomite. For God-fearing people it is a sad day indeed, not unexpected, but sad.

Thats odd, you do feel govt should have it hands in a woman's vag.I disagree. I think government should get their hands out of marriage altogether.

Clarification: Only part of DOMA has been struck down. In the 11 states that recognize same-sex marriage, it will no longer apply. The example offered by Judge Napolitano on Fox just now was that if you marry in New York but move to Texas, Texas is free not to recognize your marriage...but the federal government no longer is.
Come on, hurry up reading your dissent, lets hear Prop 8 case!!
Yes, morally my friend, because we are now one step closer to everyone being seen as equal under the law.
I'll have to check, but I don't think not being able to get married was stopping many gays from having sex.

Let's stop the back and forth about "sodomites" and "bible thumpers" and stick to discussing the topic in a civil and not baiting fashion, shall we? |
The law does not equal morality. Homosexuality is immoral.
It's OK to be gay (or bi, trans*, pan, or any other part of the LGBT+ community)
Thanks for the clarification.
Another victory for the perverts and the sodomites. The devil must be having a party.
Glad to see that this was struck down
Now let's see what happens with Prop 8.
Two points:
1) It's hardly arbitrary. There's a moral issue at stake.
2) The point of allowing courts to declare a law unconstitutional is because legislatures sometimes do things that are unconstitutional.
I think striking it down was the right thing to do.
Well boo.
It does mean that when there is another case against one of the other laws that ban SSM it will probably be a Loving type case, because of the DOMA case. Since it was such a broad ruling.
