FEDERALISM AS A WAY STATION: WINDSOR AS EXEMPLAR OF DOCTRINE IN MOTION

---

ABSTRACT
This article asks what the U.S. Supreme Court’s opinion in United States v. Windsor stands
for. It first shows that the opinion leans in the direction of marriage equality but ultimately
resists any dispositive “equality” or “federalism” interpretation. The article next
examines why the opinion seems intended to preserve for itself a Delphic obscurity. The
article reads Windsor as an exemplar of what judicial opinions may look like in transition
periods, when a Bickelian Court seeks to invite, not end, a national conversation, and to
nudge it in a certain direction. In such times, federalism reasoning and rhetoric—like
declining to announce the level of scrutiny and appearing to misapply the justiciability
doctrines—may be used as a way station toward a particular later resolution.
