What the hell are you talking about? Lots of things in america exist that dont, they ALL need to be fought in the courts.. Where the hell is Obamacare being resolved for example?
But Obama said states should decide, so if 1 state says it should, doesnt this mean Obama says you're wrong?
DOMA is political. You believe it is not political.
"the issue needs fought in the court, not in politics"
Some notes:
*This is a unanimous 3-0 ruling.
*The decision was authored by Judge Michael Boudin, appointed by President George H.W. Bush.
*Joining in the decision are Judges Torruella (appointed by President Reagan) and Lynch (appointed by President Clinton).
As I stated before, you are just looking for a reason to argue because DOMA is law, and laws are fought in the courts..
Hence politics, hence not not politics, hence my point. It became "politics" when it was conceived, proposed, passed, signed into law and enforced, and continues to be supported by politicians at EVERY level.
Another nail in the coffin for the gay hating crowd, who no doubt will come out in droves claiming Judicial activism because the judges didn't side with their beliefs.
From a legal standpoint, this decision isn't the slightest bit surprising.
DOMA is political. You believe it is not political.

And DOMA is politics.
But it has to be fought in politics before it can be fought in court. Politicians have a tendency to pass unconstitutional laws. And then the taxpayers are left with the legal bills when such laws are challenged in court.
