I don't think this will change your thinking much but, for what it's worth: I am a lawyer, and I work day in and day out with other lawyers (including some federal judges) with no stake in this case. I've yet to speak to a person who disagrees with this opinion, at least as a legal matter. I for one think it's absolutely correct given the extrinsic legal landscape that exists today (i.e., congressional statutes, relevant precedent, etc.). (Of course, the nature and existence of a distinction between a "legal matter" and a "moral matter" is a famously controversial issue ... but that's a different kettle of fish altogether.)
