Edith Windsor, the respondent in United States v. Windsor, spoke with reporters after oral arguments were presented to the Supreme Court ealier today.
Windsor, is challenged the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) after being ordered to pay more than $300,000 in inheritance taxes after the death of her partner of over 40 years due to the fact that DOMA mandates that marriage, as legally defined, is only between a man and a woman.
Courtroom observers as well as legal analysts are expecting DOMA will be overturned as it appeared from today’s oral arguments that at least five justices were skeptical that the law is constitutional.
