Not done yet! DOMA and Prop 8 decide nothing.
I agree the DOMA was law that should not have been written. The Constitution says not one word about Marriage and rightfully so.
The word marriage has it's origins in the origins of language, mr for young man of marriageable age and mari, young woman.
Then of course the institution was given special status in the Bible.
Matthew|19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which
made [them] at the beginning made them male and female,
Matthew|19:5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall
cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Matthew|19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God
hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Then the States began to regulate it and apparently Jerry Brown has declined to continue as
California would not defend the proposition passed by the people of that State. I should imagine another State will before the Supreme Court before very long.
The Federal Government did not become involved with marriage until after passing the 16th amendment allowing Income Taxes on income which was only defined in the IRS code.
Congress in it's wisdom, decided to promote the institution of Marriage by giving preferential treatment ( or perhaps discriminate) to married people.
Now we come to this era where Federal Tax law is driving young men to seek the status sanctified and institutionalized by the church and named after the term for young woman.
Perhaps the tax law needs adjusting but I do not think the churches will change. And if or when
the actual question is presented before the Supreme Court, I don't not believe the court will for the first time, come up with a finding against the teachings of the Judeo-Christian philosophy.
