If they rule that the Federal Government has no role in defining marriage, it is left to the States, and if so, to be consistent, than Proposition 8 should be allowed to stand.

Back when the Court first granted certiorari in these two cases, my prediction was that there would be (1) a 5-4 ruling in the Prop. 8 case that the Constitution doesn't require same-sex marriage, and (2) a 5-4 ruling in the DOMA case that the federal government must recognize any same-sex marriage which is legal in the state where it took place, with Kennedy in the majority in both cases.

That's what I thought, but after the Robert's, pretzel bending, decision for the Affordable Care Act anything is possible with this crew.

DOMA was a mccain manuver to stop a federal marriage amendment.

Now we should vote the federal marriage amendment.

period.
