All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to
the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the
state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any
person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The issue with DOMA is not the state making a law that infringes on
the right of a citizen, it is the state writing a law that gives the
citizen more rights and the federal government taking that right away.

It's denying rights on a FEDERAL level.. DOMA IS A FEDERAL LAW. Equal
Protection under the law. That's being denied. D'oh.

Which part of "No state shall make or enforce any law..." are you
having trouble with?

The 14th amendment is NOT about federal laws.

But states DO make laws.

Exactly and the 10th amendment protects the rights STATE laws convey.
That is why DOMA would be tossed as a 10th amendment issue.
New York recognized Edie's marriage and the federal government did
not, with no constitutional authority to regulate marriage in any way.

There are multiple issues with it, but it comes down to equal
protection. But, of course, you are a legal scolar, as well as a PhD
in physics, astrophysics, and metaphysics, so we all defer to you on
all subjects.
