@chrisgeidner Can't believe I missed this when it published - this is great!
@chrisgeidner Draft reference how DOMA blocks federal benefits for states that choose same sex marriage?
@chrisgeidner You provided a "Draft" statement. It says DOMA provided states a choice. But, DOMA also denied states w/SSM fed benefits.

@JoePaulson2 No, that is the full draft statement. As there were no states with marriage at that point, Sec. 3 was, interestingly, the ...
@JoePaulson2 ... part of DOMA seen as the more hypothetical part.
@chrisgeidner thanks ... thought it was seen as more of a ticking time bomb with Hawaii a near thing & some other state likely soon
