How do Republicans reconcile DOMA with saying that it is the states' rights issue to decide who can get married?

The hidden premise that such judgments are governed by minimal standards of logic and consistency is badly mistaken.
But I suspect you already knew that.   :)
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.
--Woodrow Wilson

so the Supreme Court's probably gonna hear a case on gay marriage this term. Gonna be interesting. I'm hoping it results in an explosive Scalia dissent.
