POTUS ASKS SCOTUS TO DOWN DOMA

It is a positive development. And the article provides a link to the brief which is exhaustive and persuasive. I find it dubious, however, that human relations are essentially reduced to a kind of tax vs no tax-relief status, however. This suggests a scenario where the default position is an individual who, despite being in the majority, is naked before state power and must therefore be harvested by it's rent seeking mechanisms. That is ominous, and we should all be concerned that we live in a country whose totalizing government operates in that mode. Questions of morality, fairness, justice, and even human existence revolve around whether or not one can jump into a category of protected or subsidized persons. In other words, the default position is a kind of fiscal annihilation waiting in the wings for every man, woman and child, the individual as an "event" which must be excised through extreme corporal taxation. I want to leave this prison but the walls are guarded by drones. If you think this is all hyperbole, you must be part of a officially recognized protected minority.
