Obama and DOMA

I'm going to be labeled an apologist here. And I generally avoid politics in this blog.

But I can see one reason for the over the top DOJ defense. None of the arguments are new; the LGBT has heard language contained in the DOJ brief many many times over the years. What if that's the point? What if the defense brought out the worst of the worst and these were invalidated by a judge. What if in light of these classic arguments, the ruling judges agree that these arguments should not be baked into the law of the land for whatever reason?

Time and time again, people have overreacted to something Obama has done, only to be quieted by what proved to be shrewd thinking on his part. For some reason I don't think this situation is any different.
