"Social Security, Medicaid, health care directives, estate planning, and immigration all hinge on marital status, which in turn hinges on the whim of the voters. The courts are just now wading into that morass and we won’t lie, it’s ugly out there.
The current system is unsustainable.

Recognizing a federal constitutional right is the only, and the best, method to put this issue to rest."
also from the article, and a great point made.
