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.

They'd come up against Loving v Virginia.
