I know the Republicans in Congress are going to want to defend DOMA in court, but really do they want to? Do they want to go against an 81 year old widow? Spend the resources of the government to defend something that won’t make any difference to the average American who needs a job? Really? Why would they do such a thing when it can so easily be thrown in their faces in the next election? Instead of working on getting middle class and poor families on their feet, they’d be spending their time and tax payer’s money on a lawsuit against a little old lady! NOT a good position to take. Better to let everyone in a LEGAL relationship marry if they want to, as they aren’t breaking any laws, and let the states collect the marriage revenue!

Considering that not so long ago President Obama’s marriage was illegal in the U.S. it really makes me wonder why he personally would continue to endorse the discrimination against Gays by denying them the Right to Marry. Doesn’t he feel that the Laws of this country should be enforced the same way towards ALL citizens and not just the ones Congress endorses at the moment? How can he, in all good conscience, allow himself or the Country he represents to discriminate against a significant segment of the population? If President Obama continues to practice such bigotry and homophobia himself, how can he ask the rest of Society to do something different?
