4 Signs that DOMA is doomed

4 signs that DOMA is doomed - The Week

1. Big name corporations say DOMA is hurting their business
When corporate giants like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Starbucks, Citigroup, and Walt Disney join forces for a cause, you can bet that people will pay attention. These companies and hundreds more signed a brief submitted to the Supreme Court late last month, urging the court to give same-sex couples federal benefits equal to those afforded to heterosexual couples

2. Republicans are getting behind gay marriage
House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) may be willing to spend hundreds of thousands of tax dollars to defend DOMA, but that doesn't mean the rest of his party is cool with discriminating against gay Americans. The New York Times first reported last month that more than 75 GOPers — including two members of Congress, Dick Cheney's daughter, top advisers to former president George W. Bush, and a senior advisor to Mitt Romney — were urging the Supreme Court to permit gay marriage to continue in California.

3. President Obama says the law is unconstitutional
Obviously, the role of the Supreme Court is to help check the executive branch — but when the president of the United States calls a law unconstitutional (especially one passed by his Democratic predecessor), it doesn't go unnoticed. President Obama has ordered his administration not to defend DOMA and has also submitted a brief to the court arguing that the law "violates the fundamental constitutional guarantee of equal protection"

4. Some legal scholars are pushing Clarence Thomas to go rogue
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, "the most conservative justice since the 1930s," historically votes in favor of state authority, and is something of a "legal outlier" with "radical" views, according to The New York Times. So radical, in fact, that he's not afraid to dissent from his fellow conservatives

Hope like hell the Obama administration and Democrats point to #1 as you do correctly but I doubt it as most all of their policies do not take into account any negative influences government and/or the law has on business.

#2 is spot on.
#3 Holder's job. Does an AJ take orders from the President ala Nixon or do they support the Constitution? Bad precedence here.
#4 Thomas most likely to be a non factor in this

Good post though. Raises the top 4 and most important scenarios.

The nation is becoming a nation of the depraved and degenerate so absolutely DOMA is doomed. The public has already moved on to acceptance of beastiality and incest. DOMA is a non-issue.

So it will be until this abhorrent culture is put out of its misery.

 

[Truthmatters]

gay people should have the same rights as everyone else.

 

[squeeze berry]

gay people should have the same rights as everyone else.

they already do, but the real question is what will you bitch about when Gay marriage passes?

 

[Truthmatters]

why are you lying about gay rights?

Any and all other discriminatory laws.
Book it.

Well, I know that I am sitting on the edge of seat, waiting for DOMA to be declared unconstitutional.

The DOMA is certainly at the top of my list of "important things to worry about".

In this time of record debt, a failing and flailing economy, millions of men and women out of work, record home foreclosures, rising gas and food prices, etc., GAY RIGHTS should trump all of that "trivial" stuff.

Let the homos get married. I don't give a damn. Good luck to them.

The public has? So the laws against beastiality and incest are no more?

Perhaps you'd be happier in someplace like Iran, then.

Gay Marriage will soon be available to half the population

Your half will not be far behind

My half? I don't care about you degenerates. It's just more women for me.

If as many people who claimed to not care about gay rights, actually didnt care, gay marriage would be legal by now.

 

[Jarlaxle]

I don't care one way or the other...I'm just SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT IT!

 

[Truthmatters]

and Gay Americans would like to not hear about it anymore either.

They would prefer to have their rights

 

[AmyNation]

I don't care one way or the other...I'm just SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT IT!

You should care about equal protection under the law.


However, it'll be something that we will talk about for a long time to come. Eventually it will become legal, and just like roe v wade, politicians and groups will continue to fight it for the foreseeable future.

It is not something we will talk about for a long time. Once it becomes the law of the land everyone will wonder what the big deal was
