DOMA will create problem for conservatives

The Defense of Marriage Act is under attack by Massachusetts. I'm glad, because this is exactly the kind of law that we should NOT have. It discriminates against same sex couples, and discrimination should not be codified law in the United States.

It is also unconstitutional per the 10th amendment. And this is where it gets tricky. Marriage is a states' rights issue, it always has been, and the federal government has no place regulating it. It will be interesting to see how a conservative who is against the "overreaching" federal government could justify a law that makes the federal government more overreaching. But I'm sure they will try, since many conservatives in congress are complete bigots against gay people.
