In a somewhat obscure gay marriage case in California, the U.S. Department of Justice sub- mitted a brief June 11 that many LGBT activists Along are decrying as a betrayal of President Barack Obama’s promise to work to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). And yet a prominent, widely respected con- Queer stitutional law professor urges caution, arguing Bronzeville page 7 that the particular lawsuit that triggered this latest controversy is “extremely vulnerable” on a number of legal grounds. The case is Smelt v. U.S., one that has been brewing since 2004 and which gay legal activists openly criticized as premature and ill-conceived at the time. That criticism has not changed with the lawsuit’s new incarnation, filed last Decem- ber.
