Analysis: Defense of Marriage Act found unconstitutional
"This Court, however, will not have the last word. As the panel notes,
This case is difficult because it couples issues of equal protection and federalism with the need to assess the rationale for a congressional statute passed with minimal hearings and lacking in formal findings. In addition, Supreme Court precedent offers some help to each side, but the rationale in several cases is open to interpretation.We have done our best to discern the direction of these precedents, but only the Supreme Court can finally decide this unique case."
