Do you know if there's a case about DOMA and the "full faith and credit" clause?

Initially I was confused about why this wasn't mentioned in your summary. Then I read the judgement and saw that the marriage took place in Canada, so the clause doesn't apply. But it seems pretty obvious to me that if one state refuses to recognise a marriage conducted in another state (as sec. 2 of DOMA purports to allow), that contravenes Art. IV sec. 1. of the Constitution. Windsor challenged sec. 3; is anyone challenging sec. 2?

2nd Circuit rules in favor of Edith Windsor. DOMA unconstitutional.

Completely unsurprising since the Justice department refuses to defend the law.

For a moment there I thought you were saying the Supreme Court had ruled it unconstitutional.

Either a ban discriminates against those affected more than those unaffected, or it does not.

Gun control laws can equally affect everyone, though, is my point.

As it should be; the DoMA was always a brazen affront to the Equal Protection Clause

The argument above was that there was no jsutification it should not, thus it should be allowed.

Wrong. I do not have an emotional stake in this, I am simply using logic. *NM*
