For a party so entrenched in the Conservative Values that Marriage needs protecting from the LGBT community, I find it interesting that so many have been married then got divorced, some more than once. Only one of these Republicans actually had the guts to bring up a ban on divorce but it never came up to a vote on the Floor due to a Filibuster from his own party’s members.
Bob Barr had this to say on his writing of DOMA
"Indeed, the primary reason for which I authored the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 was to ensure that each state remained free to determine for its citizens the basis on which marriage would be recognized within its borders, and not be forced to adopt a definition of marriage contrary to its views by another state. The decision in California is an illustration of how this principle of states' powers should work."
Unfortunately Mr. Barr what about the other 1,847 rights given by the Federal Government that your bill still bans LGBT community from having.
Three Days ago Barack Obama announced in a letter confirmed by his campaign that "And that is why I oppose the divisive and discriminatory efforts to amend the California Constitution, and similar efforts to amend the U.S. Constitution or those of other states,"
He is also For repealing DOMA
