Online story: "Edith Windsor is an 83-year-old widow who lost her wife in 2009 and was subsequently stuck with more than $363,000 in estate taxes -- money she would not have had to pay if she were in a heterosexual marriage.

Having a $363,000.000 'estate tax' means there was a healthy 'estate' when she died, and the IRS code must have treated her as a single person, no next of kin, and probably without a will, so the government just wants as much of it can get.
