This is a president also who is attempting to pave the way for same-sex marriage in our nation by refusing through his attorney general to defend the Defense of Marriage Act. I will defend that Act...This is crowd-pleasing rhetoric, certainly to South Carolina Republican primary voters. It is also a campaign promise he's repeated, and one on which he no doubt will attempt to follow through. But like alll of Romney's plans for America, it is also made with little, if any, thought to the real-world application and implications. It's an interesting exercise to visualize exactly how this Romney administration goal to gallop to DOMA's defense would actually play out—particularly since the fate of the 1996 law is currently at the 10-yard line.
The DOJ has gone above and beyond just dropping their defense. The department has profferred the opinion that DOMA fails constitutional review. Last week, the DOJ even took the highly unusual step of arguing the Ninth Circuit appeal of Lambda Legal'sGolinski v. Office of Personnel Management should leapfrog the appeal court to be heard next at the Supreme Court. There is presumably a desire to bundle it in some way with deliberations on the similar Gill case.
one question where in the Bill of rights, Constitution, Declaration of independence does it say that there is only one marriage definition? or are they attempting again to rewrite those "FOREFATHER" intentions?
do these same people who support this realize they are trying to impose their ideology on everybody but if another philosophy is suggested they turn into Beohner "oh hell know you can't", double standard legislation IMO is anti constitutional, but so what not like the right wing honors those inalienable rights.
