Shockingly, as I look into the ruling I am actually finding myself agreeing with the court — this is a STATE issue not a Federal one.

IT IS A FEDERAL ISSUE. The feds must decide on spousal benefits for things like SSN, Medicare, survivor benefits for federal benefits, spousal benefits for federal employees, etc. These are major issues with big bucks involved.

AMEN! You should read the Reynolds decision.
