If the SC turns down DOMA

[avebury]

3. Income taxes are not the only impact on same

sex couples. It would also impact inheritance and death taxes, hospital visitation, spousal access to employer provided insurance, and so on.

I really wish that all the lawyer fighting for marriage equality would really focus on:

1. Tie the whole issue tightly to inter-racial marriage. I would have looks Clarence Thomas right in the eye and stated bluntly that, not that long ago, he and his wife would not have been allowed to get married.

2. The hypocrisy of the man and woman argument and procreation argument. Marriage as defined as between one man and one woman loses potency when you have people with multiple marriages and divorces. Men and women are married all the time who have no intention of ever having children. With invitro fertilization and adoption there is no reason why a same sex couple cannot have children.

3. Constitutional should not be based upon person beliefs but what is constitutional. Everybody deserves equal rights and protection.

4. The people you deny rights today can come back and beat the crap out of you legally when you are no longer in the majority and that day is coming.
