Judge throws out DOMA challenge from binational couple

From the Advocate:

In the Lui case, the Obama administration’s Justice Department, which earlier this year announced it would no longer defend DOMA in court, had argued that the 1996 law should be found unconstitutional — as it has done in other DOMA suits — and that once it is struck down, USCIS would have the authority to consider marriage-based green card applications from married same-sex couples.

At least the Obama administration got it right.
