DOMA does not regulate marriage.

Thanks for reply. Note that activist judges / justices can make any law mean whatever they want it to mean, DOMA no exception. Congress was arguably wrong to legislatively address an issue which they have no Section 8 authority to address. And since marriage is not a constitutonally protected right, Congress has no authority under 14A to address marriage either.

Except with respect to proposing an amendment to Constitution to protect traditional one man, one woman marriage, Congress should have not touched a 10A protected state power issue imo.

PC DOMA is a lose canon.
