Agreed. And also, if it is the Court's rationale that ...
.... "DOMA is unconstitutional as a deprivation of the equal liberty of persons that is protected by the Fifth Amendment."
Then, 0bamacare MUST also now be declared as UNCONSTITUTIONAL since it likewise deprives citizens of equal liberty as protected by the Fifth Amendment. Friends of BHO got exemptions from his TAX, while religious, patriotic, God-fearing, Tea Party, etc. citizens got the shaft.
I really don’t get their dependence on the 5th Amendment..
All it says is, they can’t take our property without DUE PROCESS..
I’m no lawyer, but... my understanding of “due process” has always been that the taking must be according to laws passed by elected representatives... It never meant we all have to be treated EQUALLY by all laws.
Under this definition.... how can they justify taxing ANY of us at DIFFERENT rates? Isn’t this a jsutification for a Flat Tax??
