Description

I. INTRODUCTION During the 2008 presidential campaign, President Obama outlined his position on same-sex relationships. While making clear that he does not support same-sex marriage, he nonetheless suggested both that same-sex married couples should receive all of the benefits that different-sex married couples receive and that the Federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) (1) should be repealed. Further, in separate orders, two Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals judges--one liberal and the other conservative each recently suggested that one provision of the Defense of Marriage Act violated constitutional guarantees. (2) DOMA's days may well be numbered, whether as a result of its being struck down or repealed. Given that distinct possibility, the legal ramifications of a repeal or invalidation of either of DOMA's provisions should be discussed.
