White House press secretary announces that the Obama administration has decided that it WILL NOT DEFEND DOMA IN ANY LEGAL ACTION!!!!

With lots of disclaimers they also state that they will continue to be a party in any action taken by any other party that wishes to defend DOMA so that a decision on its constitutionality can be made by the courts. Also they will continue to enforce DOMA until a court decides differently.

A small victory, but a significant one nonetheless.

Smooches,
Keri
