I know the arguments. All I am saying is what I think the court will do. If they make gay marriage the law of the land as they did with Roe, they will cause a continual roil of the population.

They will punt the 1st case back to Kalifornia, at which the 9th circuit decision will stand, but they will kill DOMA, opening a door for a vote on the issue in states.

Remember when Obozocare was going to SCOTUS? The left kept prattling about the integrity of the Court. They are going to kick this sucker back to the states and leave us to duke it out.

This whole thing is going to become another mess when a gay couple try to divorce in a state that doesn’t recognize gay marriage.

What a mess, but the left will then say we need a consistent law because it ain’t those poor gay couple’s fault they live somewhere else than they did when they got married.

This whole thing is going to be nothing other than SCOTUS saving face.

WELL, if they throw out DOMA premised upon the federal versus states definition argument THEN WHAT ABOUT ABORTION?

The definition of when life begins has been imposed upon the states by the federal government? The definition that was enshrined and locked into stone by SCOTUS... YA that one...

Not following your comment on if DOMA is struck down that opens it up to states voting on SSM.

Haven’t they already been voting on it, whether or not it should be legal in their states? Even while DOMA is in place?

I wasn’t confused about that before, because I understood DOMA to define marriage for federal purposes only, and not to weigh in one way or the other on what states do.
