Judge Says DOMA Is Unconstitutional!

Today two separate rulings in federal courts have seriously put into doubt the legality of DOMA (The Defense Of Marriage Act), that law that keeps marriage between a man and woman on the federal level.

So, this is great news! It doesn’t mean the law is done, there are still appeals and we could very well lose in the end, but it’s a step in the right direction.  The big question now is whether the Justice Department will appeal and argue for DOMA, which seems unfortunately very likely.

What do you guys think of the decision and the possibility of the Justice Dept. fighting them?

  1. The biggest disappointment from the Obama Justice Department has been its perceived need to file briefs defending laws that Obama said on the campagin trail were unconstitutional.

    If Obama really opposes DOMA, he should have the sense to let it die after this.

  2. This judgment is very positive, but with folks like CBN calling for a Constitutional amendment to make heterosexual marriage the only kind acceptable, we need to keep fighting for equality.

  3. It’s about time!! Maybe w can start putting and end to the antigay legislation written by and passed by Clinton. The individual who promised gay’s everything and passed DOMA and don’t ask don’t tell!

  4. Thanks god someone else knows that Clinton started all this shit. I am excited but still wary. I won’t get my hopes up for Obama, or any of this country’s government, to bring change. Let’s hope though.

  5. Bill Clinton didn’t “write” or “pass” DOMA (Congress did), but unfortunately he signed it. More recently he has evolved and come out in favor of same-sex marriage equality, which is to be commended and puts him ahead of most policians(including the current president and all living former presidents) and on the right side of history.

  7. Equality is meant for everyone, not a selected group of people like it has and is today!

  8. The big question now is whether the Justice Department will appeal and argue for DOMA

    Not a big question at all. The Justice Department has no choice but to appeal and argue for DOMA. It is part of their job to defend the laws of this country, whether they are constitutional or not.

  9. You know if it would be passed that if you are married and cheat or get a divorce you have to go to jail for 10 year. I think they would rethink the whole marrage contract. No one would ever get married. They want to say it id Biblicly wrong for gays to marry, they why don’t they read what it says about cheating and divorce and follow that also?

  10. Was maried for yrs…to a cunt…dont know why gays want that to…it sucks, is stupid, is an outdated fucked up idea…mariage is dead…and I would never mary again…man or woman…

  11. Thank you, Michael W, for making it clear that the Justice Department is obligated to defend the law, since it is their job. I feel like not a lot of people get this, and as soon as the government files the appeal, the gays will whine, “Obama hates us,” all over again.

    With that said, the state’s rights angle is certainly an interesting one. I’m curious to read what argument the DOJ will come up with on appeal.

  12. As much as DOMA is unconstitutional (it violates several articles in the Constitution), the Obama administration truly has no choice but to defend its constitutionality because if it didn’t, a terrible precendent harmful to gays and lesbians will be set. Let’s say the next president and his/her administration is homophobic. A lawsuit is filed against, say, ENDA or federal hate crimes legislation. The homophobic administration, using the Obama administration’s actions to not defend DOMA, will refuse to defend these pro-gay laws. Hopefully, the justice department will do the right thing in the short run to defend DOMA and it will still be proven unconstitutional which will end up being the right thing in the long run for all of us.
