Pointed out to me by a friend:
The state of Massachusets has filed suit against the federal government, claiming the the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutionally oversteps its bounds in a state's rights to define marriage.
My friend also thinks this is one of the windows for the GOP to get behind gay rights, and I have to agree. One of the things I soundly agree with Republicans on is state's right / feds out of my personal business. If the gay marriage argument continues to be framed on a state's rights platform, and carried out on a state-by-state basis, there is almost no way the GOP can't defend it, on ideology alone.
