And DOMA says that a couple residing in, say, Maine and married by the laws of their home state are not considered married by the federal government. Why aren't all of the states' rights advocates up in arms about that?

It's an old right-wing trope that liberals are s intolerant as to be homicidal. Here's a Jeff Jacoby column in which he claims that Nina Totentberg's comment about General Boykin ("I hope he's not long for this world." ) is actually a wish for his death. It's an expression meaning "He's going to get a large and well-deserved comeuppance." In other words, when he said that Totenberg "backtracked" by saying she was hoping only for his firing, he meant "she explained". I don't know if it's an East Coast thing or a Jewish thing, but my Dad used to use it too, say when a shortstop made his third error of the inning. (The syntax is odd enough that I wouldn't be surprised if it's a translation of a Yiddish expression. )
Given that we can see the dark impulse within ourselves, and glimpse circumstances under which it might break through, how do we feel about the complete availability of unlimited firepower?
