Marco Rubio Calls Out Obama on DOMA
Florida Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio took aim at the Obama administration’s decision not to defend the Defense of Marriage Act.
“I want to thank Speaker Boehner and the House Republican leadership for taking action to defend this critical law that was enacted by a bipartisan majority in Congress and signed by [former] President Bill Clinton,” said Rubio late last week. “It is unfortunate that President Obama decided to no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act. While much of the debate in Washington is focused on creating jobs and growing our economy, we should not sit by while this administration makes profound and regrettable decisions based more upon the politics of the day than the words of our Founding Fathers. This law protects one of our most sacred institutions and because of the House’s actions today, it will be defended.”

Well said Mr. Rubio
IF "marriage" is extended to any two couples, there would be a host of couples claiming Fed. benefits per their marriage. THis would include any two roommates in college, blood-related couples. For these type of couples are also excluded by DOMA, for Fed. benefits.
These couples do not cry on your shoulder as couples of homosexual behavior do. Oh, my! how we are discriminated. Well, a lot more couples ARE discriminated if they don't fit the category of DOMA.
The Dept. of Justice thought they would abandon DOMA - backfired!@#$%$#@@!
Now, the House has an even better Attorney to defend DOMA - an attorney who has defended several dozen cases before the Supreme Court. And this last week, he passed the "test of fire" - he quit the legal firm where he was partner, and took the case to another firm.
