What are the implications of the Supreme Court’s decisions in United States v. Windsor and Obergfell v. Hodges?
What will be an ideal response?
Students should discuss the controversy over same-sex marriage as it applies to the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution as well as the Equal Protection Claus-es of the Fifth and 14th Amendments. The court essentially struck down a law—the Defense of Marriage Act—piece by piece over the course of the two decisions and im-plemented a policy that requires the granting and recognition of same-sex marriage li-censes in all states. Student reaction will vary but should be based on facts and impli-cations of these cases.
