Interestingly, I feel like Congress sees what the judicial branch is doing and thinks, boy we maybe we should act on that. Of course, if Congress hadn’t acted the courts were going to make changes to DADT and since the Obama administration has stopped defending DOMA in the court system it was a matter of time before the judicial branch weighed in constitutional issues surrounding DOMA. No matter what your public policy views on these issues are, I think it’s interesting to see how Congress is reacting in relationship to the judicial branch.
