From the way conservatives are thinking about this, you'd think Obama ordered all of government to completely ignore DOMA. All it means is that then justice department will not defend the law, it doesn't mean congress can't or some other group can't try to. If an administration feels that they can no longer defend a law, what are they supposed to do?
I seriously had someone tell me earlier today that what Obama did was unconstitutional, that he (they didn't specify the justice department) must defend all laws no matter what the circumstances. I'll ask again though, how do you defend something you feel can't be defended?
