Right, I forget what the ruling was in the heat of debate. So, they were married and then DOMA annulled it? Then benefits were removed? It didn't have to be this ugly but you don't make headlines unless you have a good fight. Fighting for civil unions just won't anger the right enough to be able to attack them.
To be clear, I side with the ruling. Stating that they should be paid. I'm against Kennedy saying people against same-sex marriage are bigots. .
