@adambonin Yikes. That's ... disappointing. Did he forget that transparency was his big lie in SOTU, not gay rights? -
@emptywheel They've obviously been enforcing it. Married gay couples don't get federal benefits yet.

@emptywheel the federal interest in Doma is a lot clearer than in the Prop 8 case, which may be narrowly decides -
@Harrydoesntmind I get that--that's why I said that DOMA is clearly unconstitutional, cause I get rights gay people don't. -
@emptywheel just read your post. Well, if the position was good enough for the most liberal justice on the 9th Cir, why not for the SG? -
@Harrydoesntmind@bmaz wrote that, not me. We'll see. -
@emptywheel@bmaz I don't think any ban on same sex marriage could withstand intermediate scrutiny; a high standard the same as for gender -
@Harrydoesntmind@emptywheel ..now, is it? -
@bmaz@emptywheel The reasoning suggested by the SG matters. Intermediate scrutiny is sweeping. Calling it half assed doesn't change that. -
@Harrydoesntmind@emptywheel Really? How do you reconcile full intermediate scrutiny language w/support only for "8 state solution"?? - 5 more replies
