This is my first Billy Joel reference, but hey, it's hard to work these things in. The First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was unconstitutional. They were right. But their reasoning was wrong. DOMA is unconstitutional because the federal government has no authority to be discussing marriage. This is a matter that should be left to the states. Republicans shouldn't be trying to define marriage any more than Democrats should. Aren't there slightly more important issues the federal government should worry about.
