Showing Original Post only (View all)I'll say it again: DOMA HAS NOT BEEN STRUCK DOWN [View all]
Yesterday's ruling only affected Section 3 of DOMA, which concerns recognition of same-sex marriages by agencies of the federal government. The rest of the law remains intact, including the part that permits states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages legally performed in other states. Yesterday's ruling, while a big step forward, is still only a step. It is important that people understand that!

Valid point, though it will make striking the rest of DOMA down much easier.

Forgive my ignorance, but why did they only focus on that part instead of the whole law?

is it simply a question of someone with standing challenging the other sections?
