Reply #68: There is nothing about any problem "built into the structure of the law"

[ruggerson]

The OP is about the fact that a Federal Judge in MA found a part of DOMA unconstitutional and used the 10th Amendment as the basis (partially) for his argument. The article the OP cites makes the point that in order to accept this line of reasoning from the Judge and be consistent, one would have to jettison entire agencies of the Federal government. Thus the 10th amendment argument compels Obama and his DOJ to fight this judge's ruling with vigor.

There is absolutely nothing about the "structure of the law" (DOMA) - the article is entirely about the structure of this particular judge's decision.

Thus, bringing Clinton into this thread has no intellectual purpose whatsoever - it is not related to what the OP discusses.
