Defense of Marriage Act

The Defense of Marriage Act, enacted by congress in 1996, and signed into law by President Clinton, is now under assault by Obama and his minnions. So much so that they have promised not to defend "DOMA" in court. Say what???? Just because Obama now thinks DOMA is unconstitutional, he orders his justice department not to defend a law? That's very unusual. How could a president pick and choose what current laws to defend? If that were rational thinking, when Republicans regain the White House, should they not defend Obamacare?

Whatever your opinion is on this matter, it sets a very scary precedent if the executive branch picks and chooses what laws to defend.

Speaking of DOMA, Obama seems to be struggling with this issue. Here's his positions since the 08 campaign:

• He believes that marriage should be between one man and one woman; gays should be entitled to civil unions.
• He believes DOMA is unconstitutional; even though it protects the issue that he says he believes in (defending marriage).

Whatever the outcome, he's surely to piss off huge factions of his liberal base. Since African Americans support DOMA (traditional marriage) by 75 percent, and Mexicans support it by 65 percent; this while his gay base and liberal elites want Obama to do a reverse and allow federal gay marriage. Either way he's boxed himself in. It'll be interesting to see how the liberal media "allows" him to escape this jam he's put himself in.
