Conservative Appeals Court Judge: DOMA Unconstitutional

Posted on 10/18/2012 | Leave a comment

(Community Matters) from Towelroad: Think Progress’ Ian Millhiser discusses how conservative judge Dennis Jacob’s decision today to strike down DOMA could impact potential Supreme Court cases: “If Jacobs’ reasoning is adopted by the Supreme Court, it will be a sweeping victory for gay rights, likely causing state discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation to be virtually eliminated. And the fact that this decision came from such a conservative judge makes it all the more likely that DOMA will ultimately be struck down by the Supreme Court.”
