(Deborah Svoboda/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After years of waiting, we finally have two U.S. Supreme Court rulings on the legality of same-sex marriage. But neither ruling was the type of clear-cut decision that advocates on both sides of the issue were hoping for. KQED spoke to several experts about the details of the cases and how this could all play out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Standing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court focused on the issue of standing in their ruling today on Prop. 8. In 2010, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, state Attorney General Jerry Brown and Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado refused to defend Prop. 8, leaving Imperial County as the only government entity willing to defend the proposition. But in 2011, the California Supreme Court ruled that Prop. 8 proponents had standing to defend the measure, which allowed them to appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Now the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Prop. 8 supporters did\u003cem> not\u003c/em> have standing to appeal, Judge Vaughn Walker's decision that Prop. 8 is unconstitutional currently stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what's standing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Davis law professor Vik Amar explains:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Standing means that you're a party that belongs in court, and that we can trust that you'll represent the interests of one position in a way that allows the court to reach the merits. For example, if I voted against Prop. 8, and I thought it was a bad deal, I couldn't sue to challenge Prop. 8, even if it offended me, unless I'm a same-sex person, which I'm not. Standing makes sure we have the right parties in the case so that the courts aren't shooting their mouths off and making new rulings just in abstract context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Usually we focus on whether the plaintiffs have standing. This was an unusual case because we were focusing on whether the defendants -- the proponents of Prop. 8 -- had standing, and the real question is whether the proponents are adequate representatives of the voters of the state of California. And the Supreme Court said that they are not. The Supreme Court said that they are private persons. They are not the same as public state officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the Brown administration had appealed Judge Walker's decision to the 9th Circuit but said, 'By the way, we agree with the plaintiff, the challengers,' then the Supreme Court might have had a much harder time getting rid of this case. It might have had to reach the merits as it did in the Defense of Marriage Act case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When can same-sex marriages resume?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court gave the 9th Circuit Court 25 days before the appeals court has to lift the stay, or hold, on Walker's ruling. This period comes directly from Supreme Court rules -- whenever the high court makes a ruling, the loser has 25 days to file for a rehearing before anything can happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also has to decide how they are going to interpret the ruling. Gov. Jerry Brown ordered the Department of Public Health - which oversees marriage licenses, birth and death certificates, and other such documents - to advise the 58 counties of California to commence same-sex marriages as soon as the stay is lifted. Each county has to decide how they will prepare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Kamala Harris in a speech asked the court to lift the stay quickly: \"I am also calling on the 9th Circuit today to urge them in the strongest terms that they lift the stay and enforce the permanent injunction that Vaughn Walker outlined so that marriages can begin in California immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Will the legal struggle continue in California?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's unclear whether the lawsuits will continue. Someone with standing would need to challenge Walker's ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amar believes that only a county clerk could do so: \"The only scenario I envision is if a county clerk who feels that he should not be bound by Judge Walker's order, and that he is not controllable by the governor, from some conservative county wants to refuse to issue marriage licenses and goes to court and says he shouldn't be governed by any of this because he never had his day in court, he wasn't in San Francisco defending Prop 8. That's the only kind of individual or party left I could see to stand in the way.\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nJane Schacter, professor of law at Stanford Law School, agrees that a county clerk refusal could restart the process: \"What I think will happen at that point, it would not surprise me if in some more culturally conservative part of the state, a local county clerk says, 'Well, I don’t think the governor had the power to order me to do this, I don’t think I’m bound by Judge Walker’s order, and therefore I’m not going to give you a license.' At that point, a same-sex couple may go to court to try to get that license and we may be off to the races with further litigation. Now, this really is a law professor’s dream. Will that be in state court? Will that be in federal court? Will it be about the scope of Walker’s decision? Will it be about the scope of the governor’s authority to decide what to do in these circumstances? Any number of questions, but I think there is no question that a lot of same-sex couples in short order are going to start marrying again in California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schacter also says that, while unlikely, Walker's opinion could be open to interpretation: \"The question is does Judge Walker's opinion, which was issued not in a class action but a lawsuit involving two couples, does it bind and apply statewide to other couples who are not part of the litigation? I think the governor will aggressively take the position that the state was a party in the case, the state is not contesting the decision of Judge Walker, therefore Prop. 8 is no longer enforceable. But it wouldn't surprise me if there's further litigation in this. It might be that the proponents of Prop. 8 will try to get some clarification of what the scope is of Judge Walker's opinion, and that won't come from Judge Walker because he's retired, but it will come from a different district judge. More likely I think Gov. Brown has ordered that marriage licenses be issued immediately. Once that starts happening, and I don't see a constraint to it because there was a stay in place pending resolution of the Supreme Court's appeal, and I think in short order that will be dissolved.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Eastman, a lawyer for the National Organization for Marriage, argues that the Supreme Court's ruling on DOMA should leave the decision up to the states: \"DOMA’s decision by the court, which specifically says that marriage policy is a core function of the states and that the federal government can’t interfere with that, strongly suggests that Judge Walker’s opinion in the Proposition 8 case, which is the last opinion standing in the Proposition 8 case right now, is invalid and has been superseded by that DOMA decision. Because what he did was strike down California’s effort that has its own merits policy, as reflected in Proposition 8. So I think we’ve got a lot of litigation still to go on whether that decision has to be overruled.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amar says this is unlikely, though: \"A big question is whether anyone can validly raise this kind of argument in front of the 9th Circuit or the District Court. In light of today's Perry ruling, Prop. 8 proponents have no right to have the 9th Circuit take another look at what Judge Walker did, or at the scope of his remedy either. And the governor and attorney general certainly are not going to ask the 9th Circuit to do anything other than allow Judge Walker's order to go into effect. So unless the 9th Circuit decides, on its own, to re-examine Walker's ruling, or unless someone else, like a county clerk, successfully intervenes to defend Proposition 8, and both of these are unlikely. I think the same-sex marriage train will leave the station here in California pretty soon. I think, and have argued for years, that this is the right result. California will join the same-sex marriage column of states largely because of the decisions of accountable, elected officials - the governor and the attorney general - rather than because of 9th Circuit judges.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So if same-sex marriage is legal, what happens to domestic partnerships?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is also unclear. David Levine, professor of law at UC Hastings College of the Law, says: \"Presumably it will effectively change over to a marriage. When we had the interim period under the California Supreme Court, in effect that was what was going to happen. So, I think probably it’ll, in effect, automatically happen. But again that’s something that we’re going to have to get some direction. The state officials in Sacramento will be issuing some directives to the appropriate county officials. So, we’ll see. But I think, as a practical matter, it will turn into a marriage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What about federal areas, like immigration and taxes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court's ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act covers changes to federal issues, such as immigration and taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court found that a portion of DOMA is unconstitutional because it violates equality principles by treating same-sex and heterosexual couples differently, even when states recognize same-sex couples and heterosexual couples the same, according to Amar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the Supreme Court can direct, it cannot legislate.

Schacter says: \"If section 3, as I believe, of DOMA is now unconstitutional in any respect, then there won’t be any reason for the Obama administration – which I think is inclined to recognize same-sex marriages – not to do that in the context of immigration and beyond. So, they’re going to have to go agency by agency and issue some regulations and public directives explaining how same-sex couples can achieve recognition from the federal government in these different areas.\"\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":null,"status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1398733208,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":27,"wordCount":1771},"headData":{"title":"Same-Sex Marriage in California: Decoding the Prop. 8 and DOMA Rulings and What's Next | KQED","description":"After years of waiting, we finally have two U.S. Supreme Court rulings on the legality of same-sex marriage.

But neither ruling was the type of clear-cut decision that advocates on both sides of the issue were hoping for. KQED spoke to several experts about the details of the cases and how this could all play out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Standing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court focused on the issue of standing in their ruling today on Prop. 8. In 2010, then-Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, state Attorney General Jerry Brown and Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado refused to defend Prop. 8, leaving Imperial County as the only government entity willing to defend the proposition. But in 2011, the California Supreme Court ruled that Prop. 8 proponents had standing to defend the measure, which allowed them to appeal to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Now the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Prop. 8 supporters did\u003cem> not\u003c/em> have standing to appeal, Judge Vaughn Walker's decision that Prop. 8 is unconstitutional currently stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what's standing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Davis law professor Vik Amar explains:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Standing means that you're a party that belongs in court, and that we can trust that you'll represent the interests of one position in a way that allows the court to reach the merits. For example, if I voted against Prop. 8, and I thought it was a bad deal, I couldn't sue to challenge Prop. 8, even if it offended me, unless I'm a same-sex person, which I'm not. Standing makes sure we have the right parties in the case so that the courts aren't shooting their mouths off and making new rulings just in abstract context.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Usually we focus on whether the plaintiffs have standing. This was an unusual case because we were focusing on whether the defendants -- the proponents of Prop. 8 -- had standing, and the real question is whether the proponents are adequate representatives of the voters of the state of California. And the Supreme Court said that they are not. The Supreme Court said that they are private persons. They are not the same as public state officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If the Brown administration had appealed Judge Walker's decision to the 9th Circuit but said, 'By the way, we agree with the plaintiff, the challengers,' then the Supreme Court might have had a much harder time getting rid of this case. It might have had to reach the merits as it did in the Defense of Marriage Act case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When can same-sex marriages resume?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Supreme Court gave the 9th Circuit Court 25 days before the appeals court has to lift the stay, or hold, on Walker's ruling. This period comes directly from Supreme Court rules -- whenever the high court makes a ruling, the loser has 25 days to file for a rehearing before anything can happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California also has to decide how they are going to interpret the ruling. Gov. Jerry Brown ordered the Department of Public Health - which oversees marriage licenses, birth and death certificates, and other such documents - to advise the 58 counties of California to commence same-sex marriages as soon as the stay is lifted.

Let me make one point at the outset, though, which is that whether it's totally unusual or largely unusual, I grant you that it doesn't happen. But the reason it doesn't happen is because -- I wouldn't confuse a numerator with a denominator. This set of circumstances just doesn't arise very often.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, it's true that when this set of circumstances -\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JUSTICE SCALIA: It has not arisen very often in the past, because in the past, when I was at the Office of Legal Counsel, there was an opinion of the Office of Legal Counsel which says that the Attorney General will defend the laws of the United States, except in two circumstances: Number one, where the basis for the alleged unconstitutionality has to do with presidential powers.

Now, neither of those situations exists here. And I'm wondering if we're living in this new world where the Attorney General can simply decide, yeah, it's unconstitutional, but it's not so unconstitutional that I'm not willing to enforce it, if we're in this new world, I -- I don't want these cases like this to come before this Court all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I think they will come all the time if that's -- if that's -- if that's the new regime in the Justice Department that we're dealing with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: I would have thought your answer would be that the Executive's obligation to execute the law includes the obligation to execute the law consistent with the Constitution. And if he has made a determination that executing the law by enforcing the terms is unconstitutional, I don't see why he doesn't have the courage of his convictions and execute not only the statute, but do it consistent with his view of the Constitution, rather than saying, oh, we'll wait till the Supreme Court tells us we have no choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JUSTICE ALITO: Well, how are you aggrieved? \"Aggrieved\" means that you are deprived of your legal rights. And you don't think that you've been deprived of your legal rights because your rights -- your obligations under the Constitution supercede DOMA, and you haven't been deprived of anything that you're entitled to under the Constitution. So how are you aggrieved?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MR. SRINIVASAN: I guess we'd -- I'd subscribe to the aggrievement analysis that the Court made in Chadha at pages 929 to 931 of its opinion. And what the Court said is this: \"When an agency of the United States is a party to a case in which an act of Congress that it administers is held unconstitutional, it is an aggrieved party. The agency's status as an aggrieved party is not altered by the fact that the Executive may agree with the holding that the statute in question is unconstitutional.\" That description is on all fours with the circumstances of this case.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Federalism\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Amar:\u003c/strong> Would the federal government be stepping on the toes of the states by treating same-sex couples as married, even when those couples were not treated as married in that state? Those are the kinds of questions that really probe this federalism rationale. How much is marriage an exclusive domain of the states? And is the federal government really out of its arena? To say that the federal government always has to defer to the states, or generally defer to the states in these marital arenas would be a big step, but at least is a step that does not resolve the meta-question here about whether the 40-odd states that ban same-sex marriage would have to change what they’re doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>JUSTICE KENNEDY: Well, I think -- I think it is a DOMA problem. The question is whether or not the Federal government, under our federalism scheme, has the authority to regulate marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JUSTICE KENNEDY: Well, it applies to over what, 1,100 Federal laws, I think we are saying. So it's not -- it's -- it's -- I think there is quite a bit to your argument that if the tax deduction case, which is specific, whether or not if Congress has the power it can exercise it for the reason that it wants, that it likes some marriage it does like, I suppose it can do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when it has 1,100 laws, which in our society means that the Federal Government is intertwined with the citizens' day-to-day life, you are at -- at real risk of running in conflict with what has always been thought to be the essence of the State police power, which is to regulate marriage, divorce, custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JUSTICE GINSBURG: They're not -- they're not a question of additional benefits. I mean, they touch every aspect of life. Your partner is sick. Social Security. I mean, it's pervasive. It's not as though, well, there's this little Federal sphere and it's only a tax question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's -- it's -- as Justice Kennedy said, 1,100 statutes, and it affects every area of life. And so he was really diminishing what the State has said is marriage. You're saying, no, State said two kinds of marriage; the full marriage, and then this sort of skim milk marriage.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Equal Protection\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Amar\u003c/strong>: The equal protection idea in the Constitution, and it’s in the 14\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> Amendment and it’s also in the Fifth Amendment, is not a command that government always treat everybody identically, because that would make no sense. Every law that government passes treats some persons or things than other persons or things. Every law does that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is what kind of basis for differentiating people is valid. It’s certainly OK to treat criminals differently than non-criminals; the former go to jail, the latter do not. It’s also certainly not OK to treat ethnic minorities differently than whites without a really strong justification. So why is it OK to treat criminals different than non-criminals, but not OK to treat blacks differently than whites?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those are the big questions in equal protection and how do they apply to a group like gays and lesbians. Are they more like racial minorities or are they more properly analogous to other groups in society that don’t benefit from any special judicial protection? So the equal protection idea requires the courts figure out which kinds of groups should not be treated differently based on some group characteristic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp> GENERAL VERRILLI: Well, with respect to Section 3 of DOMA, the problem is an equal protection problem from the point of view of the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JUSTICE KAGAN: Yes, but, General, surely the question of what the Federal interests are and whether those Federal interests should take account of the historic State prerogatives in this area is relevant to the equal protection inquiry?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GENERAL VERRILLI: It's central to the inquiry, Justice Kagan. I completely agree with that point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Oh, so it would be central to the inquiry if Congress went the other way, too?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GENERAL VERRILLI: Well, the difference is what Section 3 does is impose this exclusion from Federal benefits on a class that has undeniably been subject to a history of terrible discrimination on the basis of –\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: I understand that. That's your equal protection argument. It's not very responsive to my concern I'm trying to get an answer to.

And I'm wondering if we're living in this new world where the Attorney General can simply decide, yeah, it's unconstitutional, but it's not so unconstitutional that I'm not willing to enforce it, if we're in this new world, I -- I don't want these cases like this to come before this Court all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I think they will come all the time if that's -- if that's -- if that's the new regime in the Justice Department that we're dealing with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: I would have thought your answer would be that the Executive's obligation to execute the law includes the obligation to execute the law consistent with the Constitution. And if he has made a determination that executing the law by enforcing the terms is unconstitutional, I don't see why he doesn't have the courage of his convictions and execute not only the statute, but do it consistent with his view of the Constitution, rather than saying, oh, we'll wait till the Supreme Court tells us we have no choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JUSTICE ALITO: Well, how are you aggrieved? \"Aggrieved\" means that you are deprived of your legal rights. And you don't think that you've been deprived of your legal rights because your rights -- your obligations under the Constitution supercede DOMA, and you haven't been deprived of anything that you're entitled to under the Constitution. So how are you aggrieved?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MR. SRINIVASAN: I guess we'd -- I'd subscribe to the aggrievement analysis that the Court made in Chadha at pages 929 to 931 of its opinion. And what the Court said is this: \"When an agency of the United States is a party to a case in which an act of Congress that it administers is held unconstitutional, it is an aggrieved party. The agency's status as an aggrieved party is not altered by the fact that the Executive may agree with the holding that the statute in question is unconstitutional.\" That description is on all fours with the circumstances of this case.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Federalism\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Amar:\u003c/strong> Would the federal government be stepping on the toes of the states by treating same-sex couples as married, even when those couples were not treated as married in that state? Those are the kinds of questions that really probe this federalism rationale. How much is marriage an exclusive domain of the states? And is the federal government really out of its arena? To say that the federal government always has to defer to the states, or generally defer to the states in these marital arenas would be a big step, but at least is a step that does not resolve the meta-question here about whether the 40-odd states that ban same-sex marriage would have to change what they’re doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>JUSTICE KENNEDY: Well, I think -- I think it is a DOMA problem. The question is whether or not the Federal government, under our federalism scheme, has the authority to regulate marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JUSTICE KENNEDY: Well, it applies to over what, 1,100 Federal laws, I think we are saying. So it's not -- it's -- it's -- I think there is quite a bit to your argument that if the tax deduction case, which is specific, whether or not if Congress has the power it can exercise it for the reason that it wants, that it likes some marriage it does like, I suppose it can do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when it has 1,100 laws, which in our society means that the Federal Government is intertwined with the citizens' day-to-day life, you are at -- at real risk of running in conflict with what has always been thought to be the essence of the State police power, which is to regulate marriage, divorce, custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JUSTICE GINSBURG: They're not -- they're not a question of additional benefits. I mean, they touch every aspect of life. Your partner is sick. Social Security. I mean, it's pervasive. It's not as though, well, there's this little Federal sphere and it's only a tax question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's -- it's -- as Justice Kennedy said, 1,100 statutes, and it affects every area of life. And so he was really diminishing what the State has said is marriage. You're saying, no, State said two kinds of marriage; the full marriage, and then this sort of skim milk marriage.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Equal Protection\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Amar\u003c/strong>: The equal protection idea in the Constitution, and it’s in the 14\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> Amendment and it’s also in the Fifth Amendment, is not a command that government always treat everybody identically, because that would make no sense. Every law that government passes treats some persons or things than other persons or things. Every law does that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is what kind of basis for differentiating people is valid. It’s certainly OK to treat criminals differently than non-criminals; the former go to jail, the latter do not. It’s also certainly not OK to treat ethnic minorities differently than whites without a really strong justification. So why is it OK to treat criminals different than non-criminals, but not OK to treat blacks differently than whites?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those are the big questions in equal protection and how do they apply to a group like gays and lesbians. Are they more like racial minorities or are they more properly analogous to other groups in society that don’t benefit from any special judicial protection? So the equal protection idea requires the courts figure out which kinds of groups should not be treated differently based on some group characteristic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp> GENERAL VERRILLI: Well, with respect to Section 3 of DOMA, the problem is an equal protection problem from the point of view of the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>JUSTICE KAGAN: Yes, but, General, surely the question of what the Federal interests are and whether those Federal interests should take account of the historic State prerogatives in this area is relevant to the equal protection inquiry?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GENERAL VERRILLI: It's central to the inquiry, Justice Kagan. I completely agree with that point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Oh, so it would be central to the inquiry if Congress went the other way, too?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>GENERAL VERRILLI: Well, the difference is what Section 3 does is impose this exclusion from Federal benefits on a class that has undeniably been subject to a history of terrible discrimination on the basis of –\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: I understand that. That's your equal protection argument. It's not very responsive to my concern I'm trying to get an answer to.
