Are you serious? What they ruled on was in direct defiance of the Defense of Marriage Amendment. They specifically stated that the Mass law did not state that marriage was between a man and a woman and unconstitutional. Oh and did you not hear the openly Lesbian judge state that the ruling was to knock down the Defense of Marriage Amendment? A small oversight on your part I am sure. Glad to correct it.

There is absolutely nothing in DOMA that is contradicted by the Mass. ruling.

(just to make it clear:) I believe she must have said that in her dissent. She believed this issue is properly the domain of the legislature and the people, not the courts.
