The Founding States made the 10th Amendment to clarify that the Constitution’s silence about things like marriage, abortion, euthenasia, etc., automatically makes such issues unique state power issues. So DOMA, for example, was arguably pure political theater, winning votes for incumbent lawmakers from voters who don’t know about the Constitution’s division of federal and state government powers, such powers evidenced by the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I, Article V and the 10th Amendment.

Your same Song and Dance has become boorish. You need to go way beyond DOMA to where the roots of the problem lies. Until then, keep playing Geppetto as you listen to Jiminy Cricket “When You Wish Upon a Star” because the roots are entrenched and the Feds (With the electorates help) are not letting free men uproot them.
