forever. For the exact same reasons the IRS has declared it BS.

And, for the record, the IRS based its analysis on the precise rules the Supreme Court should have used to decide Windsor, but failed to. Things would have been so much clearer if the Supreme Court had acted with integrity on this matter. I'm glad the IRS is, at least, following its common law marriage precedent.
