Gay Marraige Ban Upheld in Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, & Michigan

Even I thought that DOMA was unconstitutional when it passed. Gay marriage should be a state issue, but with all the left wing judges that Obama has put onto the bench, it was predictable that some of the state bans would be overturned by the lower courts.

The Supreme Court will not be deciding the constitutionality of state bans on homosexual marriages based on DOMA, they will be deciding whether the federal government should have a say over marriage, which has historically been a matter left to the states, based on the U.S. Constitution and past precedents. If they are consistent, then the justices that ruled against DOMA should rule in favor of the states that passed bans. Of course, with four extreme liberals who have no problem legislating from the bench, no ruling will surprise me.
