Ten years ago, in United States v. Windsor, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the section of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that prevented the federal government from recognizing any marriage other than one "between a man and a woman." My client Edie Windsor wanted nothing more than for her marriage to her late spouse, Thea Spyer, to be afforded the same respect and dignity as any other marriage. The Supreme Court ultimately agreed that the equal protection clause of the United States Constitution required that recognition.
