Jon Stewart rips apart Justice Scalia for questioning single sex families

DOMA and Dumber.

Good video at the bottom.

Those of us old enough to remember the old Perry Mason show would recall week after week how the crafty attorney would introduce some bombshell to torpedo the government's case week after week.

In the "real world", however, court cases are nothing like that.

Until yesterday.

Yesterday, in the Supreme Court of the United States, the justices heard the United States government go on the record as saying that Congress' intent when it passed the puerile DOMA act was to make sure that, um, marriage was universally recognized between states.

It had nothing.....nuuuuuuuuuuuuuthink.....to do with passing judgment on people's moral behavior. Of course. (The Supreme court, you see, in the Lawrence decision written by Justice Kennedy, declared federal laws regarding "morality" to be unconstitutional).

Justice Kagan then read into the record from the House Judiciary Committee report on DOMA.

Direct quote here from Newtie's Rethuglican bully boys back in 1996, in the official Congressional summary of the intent of the law:
“Congress decided to reflect and honor of collective moral judgment and to express moral disapproval of homosexuality”

That was about as stinging a rebuke as you will ever see from a Supreme Court Justice.

This case is OVER.

The Rude Pundit says:

The Defense of Marriage Act Was Always Discrimination With a States' Rights Mask:

"My bill, which the President has said he will sign, draws the line with the vast majority of the American people and says No! My bill says states will not be forced to accept same sex marriage, and the federal government will take the straightforward step of defining marriage so no one may abuse a 2,000 year old understanding of what marriage is, and open the U.S. Treasury to raid by homosexual extremists determined to grant the whole range of federal benefits, including social security, or veterans' survivor benefits." - Georgia Rep. Bob Barr, July 12, 1996

I think most people, Vettebigot and the like excepted, have realised that DOMA is doomed. It's pretty much impossible to argue that it's constitutional. The prop 8 case is far more difficult.

I think most people, Vettebigot and the like excepted, have realised that DOMA is doomed. It's pretty much impossible to argue that it's constitutional. The prop 8 case is far more difficult.

The Vettebigot and Retard Ruse have taken the apparent meltdown of the DOMA statute very hard. Between the two of them they have started almost a dozen threads on the subject.

In any event, their pain is America's gain.
