Briefly, wtf happened with 2006 Congress, DOMA AND Postal Service BullShit act!???

Sorry, I rarely write such and seldom say it, but listening to Rachel interview re: oral argument.

Nevermind; just informed DOMA wasn't 2006 but 1996.

but interviewee simply recited the history, that DOMA was/is a unique 'taking away' piece of legislation which removes ability of same-sex couples to seek Fed. benefits, in states which have approved same-sex marriages. Then occurred to me that these 2 laws were approved in 2006.
