Is the idea now w/ Amicus briefs to dump them on SCOTUS just to show which side you support, not to aid decision? @chrisgeidner @journosnow
@pgofhsm @journosnow But, PG, that ISN'T the White House arg on #DOMA. Not by a mile. They barely touch federalism in their brief.

@chrisgeidner@journosnow they refer over and over to couples who are married under state law -
@pgofhsm@journosnow Right ... because that's how benefits had been determined before DOMA and would be after. O/B wouldn't say otherwise. -
@chrisgeidner@journosnow so O/B don't think civil union & DP couples should have fed recognition of their legal commitments? -
@pgofhsm@journosnow Well, they think those are unconstitutional and should be marriages. So, they don't answer that question.
