Her report about a favorable ruling in a Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) case, however, was simply “DOMA is going to bite the dust,” citing this LA Times article.

The lawyer in me (yes, once it gets in, they’re really hard to remove) says – this ruling isn’t on constitutional grounds – and if it were – the oldest and ailing Justices are not Bush appointees.There’s an argument to be made that this optimism is excessive.

However, on reflection, I’m not going to make it. I’ll say instead that this political battle is not over, we are starting to win it – to paraphrase Churchill, we’re past the end of the beginning – we’re at the very beginning of the end for DOMA and other sexually repressive statutes.

Also, who am I to disagree with the Leather Yenta? (such a catch! Oy!)

And - she’s going to be at Dark Odyssey later this month.

Last word on Ms. Wolf: pick a post at random and the smart money says it’ll make you laugh or make you hot: read, e.g., Priming the Pump
