After the Election ...

Your thoughts?

I am not a Constitutional lawyer so, as a rule of thumb, I often look at things in a "follow the money" sort of way. So lets talk about money.

Do you think that many people in state and federal government are against same sex marriage but are OK with "domestic partnerships" because of things like inheritance (where spouses almost always get the most by default,) Social Security survivor benefits and Veterans survivor benefits will go to a non-traditional spouse? Federal GI insurance? There must be other state and federal programs that include provisions for a "wife or husband," the gender of whom is assumed but not specified.
