That was the entire reason that the wingnutosphere declared the decision apocalypse for a certain segment of "strongly held beliefs"...and it should be pretty easy to find a ton of info about it on google. The hope..you see, was that even if they couldn;t hold the line..there wouldn;t be enough political will (or votes) to add language to our legislation.
The DOMA ruling nuked that last obstructionist fantasy by upending any such need. Conveniently, this is exactly the question you just found yourself asking.
I did my homework. DOMA simply does not do what you claim it does so I guess we'll have to disagree on it. If DOMA did do what you claim, then why didn't any justices cite it or the civil rights act in their ruling on this case. Seems if DOMA did what you think it does, this particular case would be pretty open and shut simple. But no one mentioned it in this case. Hmm.... wonder why...
