Section 2 of the Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 (DOMA) should be ruled unconstitutional because it oversteps the power granted to Congress under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution. DOMA section 2 allows individual states to refuse recognition to same-sex marriages regarded as valid in another state. This provision represents the first case in which Congress has attempted to restrict full faith and credit.

One of the issues that arose after the Iowa Supreme Court’s decision in Varnum v. Brien, which held that Iowa’s Constitution would not permit Iowa to limit the institution of marriage to opposite-sex couples, regards how the state should treat different types of same-sex unions from other states. Some of the most interesting and important concerns center around the status Iowa will give to out-of-state civil unions and domestic partnerships, relationships that receive legal recognition but are not true marriages in their states of origin. Since federal law (the Full Faith and Credit Clause and the Federal Defense of Marriage Act) and choice-of-law principles allow Iowa to recognize out-of-state, same-sex relationships, Iowa courts and legislators must now look to statutory l...

The Obama administration last week announced it no longer will defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court. That reprehensible law should be ruled unconstitutional, but the administration has an obligation to ensure it receives a vigorous defense nonetheless, though perhaps not by administration attorneys. DOMA contains two key provisions. It allows states to ignore the full faith and credit clause of the Constitution by not recognizing same-sex marriages performed in other states. It also requires the federal government not to extend any marriage benefits to same- sex, wedded couples.

Andrew Koppelman's book, Same Sex, Different States: When Same-Sex Marriages Cross State Lines, drove the author to the realization that interstate choice of law questions involving same-sex marriage are entering a new and more subtle stage of debate. This article addresses some of these questions and demonstrates that the debate regarding same-sex marriage may turn on whether the government will be compelled to extend equal protection rights to homosexuals on the basis that state defense of marriage acts potentially "impose a broad and undifferentiated disability on a single named group." The Supreme Court's decision in Romer v. Evans may have a substantial impact on whether state defense of marriage acts, like Initiative 416 in Nebraska, violate the equal protection rights of homosexu...
