A federal appeals court has ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act, a law that denies a host of federal benefits to same-sex married couples, is unconstitutional.
The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston ruled Thursday that the act known as DoMA, which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, discriminates against gay couples.
The appeals court agreed with a lower court judge who ruled in 2010 that the law is unconstitutional because it interferes with the right of a state to define marriage and denies married gay couples federal benefits given to heterosexual married couples, including the ability to file joint tax returns.
The 1st Circuit said its ruling wouldn’t be enforced until the U.S. Supreme Court decides the case, meaning that same-sex married couples will not be eligible to receive the economic benefits denied by DOMA until the high court rules....
Yes, John Y., and two of those judeges were appointed by Republicans For your interest, Lincoln mayor: There will be a vote on gay rights. The city council should never past an ordinance approving of homosexuality etc. in the first place.
"the act known as DoMA, which defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, discriminates against gay couples"
It is too late to save marriage from the sodomites. Now that they are established as acceptable "normal" people in society you have to give them everything that "normal" people are entitled too.
The abomination marriages are already validated and legitimized by all that has gone before to legitimize homosexual lifestyle.
It is too late to discriminate against this "acceptable" albeit different lifestyle. Western nations now have to deal with the fact that queer is legit.!!!
You know, all this makes so much sense. I could have sworn that sodomy was illegal in England prior to the arrival of the Pilgrims. I could have sworn that sodomy stayed illegal throughout the colonial period. I could have sword that sodomy was still illegal when the constitution was drafted, and yet... it's unconstitutional? That's funny, I guess every single framer was unaware of this fact! All of their sodomy laws were so unconstitutional. Oh wait, the constitution, like any contract shows to be evolving over time... why use amendments right? I think the thing I hate about liberalism the most is the false shroud of intellectualism that is hiding great sophistry.
The judges on that appeals court are in league with Satan and will have to answer to the Lord Jesus Christ for supporting the abomination known as sodomy.
