I'm starting to feel bad for Hillary Supporters

[okasha]

202. You may have noticed--or not--

that Hillary and Hillary's husband are two different people.

I wish he hadn't signed DOMA--it could have become law without his signature--but it was a tactical decision to preserve leverage with Congress, and I understand why he did it. DOMA staved off a Constitutional amendment outlawing marriage equality, which would have been far harder to reverse.

And don't try to tell us, as others have, that the Amendment was not a realistic threat or wouldn't have passed. It was and it would have. That's when states began passing anti-marriage equality amendments to their own Constitutions. Now the courts have been striking them down one after another and we can hope SCOTUS will strike down the rest. It would have been much harder with an amendment to the federal Constitution.
