President
Obama has turned his back on his Christian or Muslims beliefs by failing to
fight for traditio0nal marriage!
The Obama administration urged the
Supreme Court to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act's prohibition on
recognition of same-sex couples' marriages in a Friday filing, arguing that
laws that target gay people should face additional scrutiny by courts reviewing
them.
Under such heightened scrutiny, as
it is called, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli says that Section 3 of DOMA,
which defines "spouse" and "marriage" under federal law as
only those marriages between one man and one woman, is unconstitutional.
In summary, the administration
argues:
Section 3 of DOMA violates the
fundamental constitutional guarantee of equal protection. The law denies to
tens of thousands of same-sex couples who are legally married under state law
an array of important federal benefits that are available to legally married
opposite-sex couples. Because this discrimination cannot be justified as
substantially furthering any important governmental interest, Section 3 is
unconstitutional.
