We believe DOMA discriminates but we're still going to defend it. - CovingtonCat Aug 17, 08:32 3
- They're obligated to defend it until it's overturned. It'd be nice if they'd let it die by not defending it, but I'm not sure thay are allowed. -- nm - TWuG Aug 17, 08:45 2
  - I thought it was interesting that they actually said it was discrimantory. Like they were giving the court a handle to use to overturn it. -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 17, 08:47 1

- I saw this earlier this morning and didn't get through the trailer. -- nm - Reagen Aug 17, 08:32 4
  - The end of the trailer is kind of interesting because it pushes the soundtrack heavily. -- nm - Danoslam Aug 17, 08:34 3
    - this feels like a trick. -- nm - Reagen Aug 17, 08:35 2
      - Still not worth getting all the way through for, but I found it interesting how explicitly they sold the soundtrack. -- nm - Danoslam Aug 17, 08:37 1
        
        I think someone realized they had to sell *something*. I can also totally see how this ends (not that it's not bludgeoningly obvious). - mafic Aug 17, 08:42
