VRA Ruling = Good law but with unconstitutional provisions so Court properly said "Achieve your good goal through constitutionally appropriate legislation."

DOMA Ruling = Bad law but (IMHO) not unconstitutional (i.e. - Congress absolutely had authority to pass the legislation as enacted). Court stupidly said "Don't worry Congress, we'll do your job for you." Again, IMHO, the Court should have said "Congress, you passed this bad law, it's up to you to get rid of it".
