Same-Sex Marriage Part II

I previously talked about here the case I have pending on whether a same-sex couple can get a divorce in Mississippi.  The State of Mississippi through the attorney general's office has responded with the brief located here.  I will be filing a reply brief in the next ten (10) days or so.  To me, the big issues are going to be:  (1)  whether DOMA section 2 is to be read as broadly as the state contends and (2) the distinction between a marriage going forward and a divorce.  The reply brief my office is working on will address that.
