And how’s that workin’ out for you now that the Obama administration has decided that two legs are good, but four legs are bad?

Again - they are wrong. The federal government has the power to regulate spousal visas. Not the states. By granting spousal visas - which I warned Obama would do the instant DOMA got shut down, Obama could attack every state’s laws.

Yet, I haven’t heard a peep from the same ‘liberaltarians’ who were opposed to DOMA apparently aren’t opposed to gay spousal visas. Odd that. It’s almost like they support giving the shaft to social conservatives if it advances social liberalism.

I'm not asking Uncle Sugar for any favors, so it's a non-event for me, but thanks for asking!

You can cite the specific part of Article 1, Section 8 that gives fedgov the power to sanction, regulate and grant favors upon the institution of marriage, right? I'm guessing that would be no, since it's not there

Again, where in Article 1 Section 8 does he have the power to sanction or regulate the institution of marriage? If he did, people would be filing for divorce in federal court. How many divorces get outside the county level?
