It's awesome that Obama did this, but ... what did he do, exactly? States can (and will) continue to ban gay marriage, or more/worse. Once this gets to the Supreme Court, Obama has no sway, and likely anyone he would have appointed to the court would be at least somewhat sympathetic to the issue, anyway. Unless he actively campaigns on the issue, which I doubt he will, by supporting gay marriage Obama puts nothing at stake (anti-gay marriage peeps likely would have not voted for him anyway) and gets little in return (except some gay $$$, and maybe the renewed support of some hard-left people and libertarians somehow able to overlook all the other things about him they don't like). Right? And for those who think the decision will cost him any significant portion of the black vote ... please.

That's correct but here's where I might surprise you: I was impressed with the simplicity of the language used in that interview. In clear jargon-free sentences he explained how he as a father and husband approached the unveiling of a decision he had no doubt decided years ago. It does mean a lot that POTUS did it too.

true. not a lot more he can "do" (i don't think?) outside of directing the JD to stop enforcing DOMA
that said, i shamefully sent him $$ last night for first time ever. didn't even do that in '08. in my defense the grizzlies had just won and i was drinking heavily.

I think he was simple just to get it over with so that he can stop talking about it. Like pulling a tooth.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 10 May 2012 14:41 (eleven years ago) link
well, its not enforcement really, it's defending it in court. and not defending it in court means it will probably get overturned... however DOMA only applies to federal law. It's entirely possible that the SC, being composed as it is, will issue a narrow ruling that overturns DOMA but does not enshrine the rights of gays and lesbians to marry. Meaning state laws may have to be challenged separately. Legal scholars plz correct me if I'm missing something here.
― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 10 May 2012 15:28 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, legal scholars, weigh in: I'm not sure what the Supreme Court can even do but bat down bad local laws, which are all discriminatory in different ways. Can the SC even give a close ruling that outright allows gay marriage, no question? Or would that take a constitutional amendment?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 10 May 2012 16:23 (eleven years ago) link
they'd have to rule that any law explicitly denying rights to gays and lesbians was unconstitutional.
I kinda don't see this current court doing that but I dunno.
― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 10 May 2012 16:27 (eleven years ago) link
Or would that take a constitutional amendment?
I'm pretty sure that the current court isn't going to find a right not enumerated in the amendments.
