We're going to have to fight that battle sooner rather than later.
It's unconstitutional for one state not to recognize a marriage performed in another state. The Constitution says that contracts in one state must be honored in all states. We'll probably have to go back to the Supreme Court and get them to tell those states that they can't ignore same-sex marriages any longer, but it's got to be done, the sooner the better.
The federal government recognizes same-sex marriages now. The states who are defying the Constitution don't have a leg to stand on. I hope Obama doesn't have to send troops down here again, but if that's what it takes then so be it.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
