The Defense of Marriage Act would have been challenged and gone to the Supremes if it was any way unConstitutional. DOMA is essentially the Federal version of Prop 8.

Uh, no. DOMA is essentially the Federal version of California Proposition 22, which passed by over 60% and prohibited gay marriage by statute. The California supremes threw it out. Then we barely passed Proposition 8, which was a Constitutional amendment and the California supremes were forced to respect it. DOMA hardly carries the force of a Constitutional amendment.

Uh, really? Get off it. You know what I meant. If DOMA had Constitutional problems it would have been challenged. And, yes, I know what “we” did.
