Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Obama orders Justice to stop defending constitutionality of Defense of Marriage Act. http://on.cnn.com/fSEmaZ :w00t: Washington (CNN)– President Barack Obama has ordered the Justice Department to stop defending the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as only between a man and woman, according to a statement Wednesday from Attorney General Eric Holder. “The president has concluded that given a number of factors, including a documented history of discrimination, classifications based on sexual orientation should be subject to a more heightened standard of scrutiny,” Holder said. The key provisions in the law “fails to meet that standard and is therefore unconstitutional.” “Given that conclusion, the president has instructed the (Justice Department) not to defend the statute” in two pending cases in New York state, Holder said. “I fully concur with the president’s determination.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the same my ass lol The Tea Party is clearly just an extremist wing of the Republican Party. I mean, every Tea Party elected official who I know of ran as a Republican, so IDK why they're acting like they're separate. I know a lot of moderate Republicans wish they were, though!
