Bench Memos - National Review Online: "Will contends that “[b]y striking down DOMA …, the court would defer to 50 state governments.” But beyond the fact that federalism, properly understood, means that the states have no authority to dictate to the federal government what marriage means in provisions of federal law, the real effect of striking down DOMA would be to compel federal taxpayers in states with traditional marriage laws to subsidize same-sex marriages in other states. It’s a very strange misunderstanding of federalism that would compel such a result."
