Dr. Seussilitis Does The SCOTUS Blog - DOMA Edition

Feds will have to honor a gay couple's wedding pact
When the 2 are married in a state where it's okay.
Prop 8 failed because they ruled opponents had no say.

Won on technicalities and - though a win's a win
It won't help in states where same-sex marriage is a sin.
Question is; what happens if that same-sex couple moves
To a state whose Legislature strongly disapproves?

Will the U.S. recognize that couple's marriage if
They are in a state where opposition to them's stiff?
There are still too many states where love's against the law.
If States' Rights protect discrimination that's a flaw.

Issue will be back before the Court, I guarantee.
But, this is a major step if you're L.G.B.T.
Come to Massachusetts - you're all welcome here with us.
Marriages are legal 'cause this state is fabulous.

...And just wait until you see the Berkshires!
