I think gay men like to have something cylindrical in their mouths.

What about the Ls?

They like it too, it is just they have fewer options so it is more likely to be cigarettes.

Haven't seen the details but apparently a Massachusetts court has ruled part of DOMA unconstitutional.

Actually, there have - as I understand it - been two federal court rulings against DOMA today.

Yep, both by the same judge. One uses 5th Amendment arguments,the other 10th Amendment arguments.

Haven't read the decisions and I'm obviously not an expert but while the arguments I've seen paraphrased sound good on this issue, they do seem like a potential double-edged sword.

I wonder if conservatives would be willing to trade gay marriage for a revitalized 10th Amendment.

ETA: For example, if DOMA is an issue because it intrudes on the historical role of states in defining marriage, how would that argument relate to the recent health care bill which intrudes on the historical role of states in regulating health insurance by creating national minimal standards?

Good. DOMA needs to go away.

I didn't read the article closely, but didn't the MA court say that DOMA infringed on the states' rights to define marriage? That seems like it could be a problem later when one might, say, want to argue that OK has to accept out-of-state gay marriages under the full faith and credit clause.
