As I understand it that the Defeat of DOMA was at least in part was that the federal government had no right to define marriage. Now the federal government will assume that right. What rights are left to the several states to define marriage. If the age of consent is 16 in Alabama is it fair that couples have to wait to 18 in California?
You are right. But that was then and this is now.

In 2013 ,the liberal view was that since a number of states had allowed homosexual marriage, that the federal government must allow for same because the federal government was compelled to accept definitions of marriage from the states.
But now in 2015, the reasoning has reversed, because the liberal view is now that we should have 50 state homosexual marriage, no matter how this is justified legally. The liberal view is now that homosexual marriage should be imposed from the top down, and states have no right to define marriage anymore.
