Reply #35: Congress will never have the balls OR the ovaries to overturn it.

[Ken Burch]

That was The Newter's whole point in shoving DOMA down Congress's throat(to repurpose the ugliest and most overused piece of double entendre in the other side's rhetorical quiver) in the first place. Introducing DOMA essentially FORCED most Dems to vote for it or to face the wrath of the Godstapo in any future election.

It's the same reason that school desegregation HAD to be imposed by the Supreme Court. It simply could never have made it through the U.S. Senate of the day, no matter what.
