Many good reasons there for finally getting rid of "state's rights," and

Oh, so you think DOMA should supersede state law in Connecticut, DC,
Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York,
Vermont, and Washington?
That passed our congress by a wide margin .
85 to 14 in the Senate, 342 to 67 in the house.
It was signed by your hero
Do you really want that to be our national code?
Fortunately the SCOTUS may strike down DOMA precisely because it does
violate the concept of states rights.
I don't think the government, any government, should be granting or
taking away so called human rights. We all should have the same,
complete rights, including the right to marry whomever we please.
I would really like the government out of the marriage business
altogether. Marriage should be a church thing and all of the
government involvement should be by simple contract law.
Government regulation of marriage is really just church dogma,
legitimized at the point of a government gun. That is how we got to
outlawing gay marriage in the first place.
I agree with ths completely.
