I don't view this less of a victory for gay rights and more for state rights. Section 2 of DOMA was left in place. It states: “No State, territory, or possession of the United States, or Indian tribe, shall be required to give effect to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding of any other State, territory, possession, or tribe respecting a relationship between persons of the same sex that is treated as a marriage under the laws of such other State, territory, possession, or tribe, or a right or claim arising from such relationship.”
It puts whether or not to recognize the union of same sex couples in the hands of the state.
My question is this...will there be the same support for striking down Roe V Wade and PPACA (Obamacare)? Those issues should remain at the State level as well.
