A friend-of-the-court brief filed last Thursday in the case of Commonwealth of Massachusetts vs. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services argues that DOMA, which protects marriage as between a man and a woman in federal law, imposes crippling burdens on employers.

Bullcrap. It's the same definition of marriage tens of thousands of corporations used for centuries without AFAIK a single complaint. Now all of a sudden, they've discovered it's an unreasonable burden they managed not to discover that entire time??

No more Nike, Levis, Starbucks, or Google for me.

Since same-sex “marriage” is recognized as legal in some states but not recognized by the federal government, employers must contend with a complex tax situation for “married” homosexual couples, the brief says.

So of course the obvious response is to challenge the law that hasn't changed and affect hundreds of millions, rather than the ones that HAVE changed recently and can be challenged in smaller venues. Nope, no agenda here.

So, basically a Liberal who's who list. They seem to complain a lot but appear not to provide any valid reason as to the supposed illegality of the law.

These companies supported Obamacare, support the Unions, and other liberal causes. Their members and PAC’s donate to Democrats overwhelmingly.

I found a great little java joint right near where I live, owned by one of the county’s TEA Party organizers. She gets my business from now on.

Auf wiedersehen, Starbucks. You won’t be missed.

The pro-marriage statute is under attack in Washington as well, with the Obama Administration having refused to defend the law, then argued in favor of overturning it.

I bet DOMA goes under... "Gay" is all the rage in the New America.

That suit, the shareholder’s money spent to pursue is, imo, and imo as a shareholder of some of these, a breach of fiduciary duty.

So much for the “corporations are right wing” myth. I want to know where right wing corporations really are so I can try to get a job with them.

Bing and Google are both pro-gay marriage. Are we supposed to trust web searches?

Many corporations, foundations and other large entities are rife with homosexual agenda pushers. Why would keeping marriage between a man and a would create a "cripping burden on employers"? I don't get it.
