SO you concede the point at hand?
Of course not, but your Bishop example did move me a bit in your direction,.
I still think this could end up helping dems and being counterproductive. If Obama gets re-elected and Pelosi re-takes the House you can bet that repealing DOMA would be high on their list. But I dont have a crystal ball and so this may blow over by November.
One big advantage Dems have politically is that this doesnt go into effect until 2013. That makes it difficult to actually demonstrate to voters that Obama is going after the Church. If this was in effect now the Church could refuse to follow the law in protest and force Obama into a possible lose-lose decision.
