'so, instead of letting a court decide, we have a new decider of whether a law is constitutional

there isn't a precedent with DOMA being unconstitutional.

I found some cites that suggest otherwise. Decisions on both sides of the issues; still in flux.

Yet the admin ignores other court rulings they do not like

A power grab?

Forget which law we are talking about here. Think about seperation of powers.

Attorney General Eric Holder said President Obama has concluded that the administration cannot defend the federal law that defines marriage as only between a man and a woman. He noted that the congressional debate during passage of the Defense of Marriage Act "contains numerous expressions reflecting moral disapproval of gays and lesbians and their intimate and family relationships -- precisely the kind of stereotype-based thinking and animus the (Constitution's)Equal Protection Clause is designed to guard against."

As the article mentioned further down, why do this now when the federal budget, jobs and the economy are the top issues? Watch what BHO's other hand is doing.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
