From the letter to Congress:

"Furthermore, pursuant to the President’s instructions, and upon further notification to Congress, I will instruct Department attorneys to advise courts in other pending DOMA litigation of the President’s and my conclusions that a heightened standard should apply, that Section 3 is unconstitutional under that standard and that the Department will cease defense of Section 3."

Yippee. The Executive Branch now decides what's constitutional.

I guess the next R president can just refuse to defend Obamacare, because it IS unconstitutional.

That is the whole problem with this and no one seems to get it.
