  • lelandt, on 08/24/2008, -0/+0Same-sex marriage only will be recognized in states which wish to recognize it. Contrary to widely held opinion in the LGBT community, DOMA is constitutional. (This, of course, carries the caveat that a majority of any court may rule how they please and will always find a reason [excuse] to justify it.)
    The second sentence of Article IV, Section I of the US Constitution, known as the “Full Faith & Credit” clause is: “And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.” The constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) rests on this second sentence with particular attention to the last four words. With Justices Alito, Roberts, Scalia & Thomas at the top of the judicial food chain it seems highly unlike that they would find DOMA unconstitutional.
