(45,319 posts)Here is my point. People need to cease claiming that DOMA is not enforced until it is not enforced. It needs to be repealed by the Congress, and that goal is not supported by folks who run around claiming it is not enforced. I did not blame Obama for letting it go to the courts, I don't even see him as having done so.
My issue is with folks who want to declare a victory yet to be won by claiming it is not enforced. It is enforced. That is my entire point about the 'enforcement' is that it is fucking enforced and yet again and again people claim 'DOMA is not enforced' when they wish to make some random argument about any number of things. They need to stop doing so, because it is false.
I don't like to make court predictions, but I actually tend to agree with you about why Roberts is pissed off. Which is why I did not say any of the things you are ascribing to me.
DOMA is enforced by every level of the Federal Government, that is just a fact of the place we are in history. That fact must not be forgotten until it is in fact not enforced. That's it.
Oh, I do blame Holder for some of the language he used when he was defending DOMA for two years. The way he did it was not kind at all. It was also his choice. And yeah, I credit him with that.
