Speaking of children of gay parents in the DOMA case
There is a striking aspect to Kennedy's surprisingly passionate opinion: He focuses directly on the children of same-sex couples. DOMA, he writes, "humiliates tens of thousands of children now being raised by same-sex couples. The law in question makes it even more difficult for the children to understand the integrity and closeness of their own family and its concord with other families in their community and in their daily lives."
That was then, this is now. I'll bet you dollars to donuts the idea of a state being forced by the fed (the power of himself alone as the swing Justice) to incentivize marriages for untold generations into the future as a petri experiment to strip children in those homes of at least one blood parent 100% of the time hadn't occured to Kennedy as he wrote that rather myopic, bleedingheart, kneejerk opinion.

I think you are correct about one thing- I am certain that your bat guano crazy claims had never occurred to Kennedy.
You should hope no one tries to make that argument.
