House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, suddenly an expert on the Constitution, said on Wednesday that she and Barack Obama are honoring the Constitution in their attacks on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Pelosi pontificated:
"And given a choice I think we would all say were honoring, as the president does, the Constitution. When you pass a bill in the House, as we did with the health care bill, we made it iron clad constitutionally. You have a responsibility to honor the Constitution. In fact, we take an oath to do just that, and that is the oath that President Obama is upholding."
Attacking the GOPs support for the Defense of Marriage Act, Pelosi whined:
"We weigh equities. Congress passes a bill. Its questionable in terms of constitutionality. Theres no question about your oath to the Constitution of the United States, and the behavior of the Republicans in the House of Representatives on this subject has been so irresponsible. First of all, why in this time would you pass a bill that increases discrimination? Were going in the direction of the arc of Justice [Henry L.] Benning in favor of more justice, not more discrimination. Why would you do such a thing in the first place? And then when it is questioned in terms of its constitutionality to spend money in the tune of millions outside the regular order of how that money should be spent to defend increasing discrimination in our society, its just plain wrong. And given a choice I think we would all say were honoring, as the president does, the Constitution"....

Great, now the democrats are embracing the “founding fathers” claim for social liberalism, we hear enough of that from republican rinos/libertarians.

I wonder if she voted for or against it when it passed.

Did Hershey, PA exist when the founding fathers were around? Did they make chocolate then? If they had to ship the chocolate anywhere there had to be some fudge packers. That would be the closest that those guys came to supporting anything so freakin gay.

Where or what Amendment does it state that, Pelosi?

When you pass a bill in the House, as we did with the health care bill, we made it iron clad constitutionally. I think that means they put Roberts in iron clad shackles until he complied.

Someone said"Once you decide to modify the word 'marriage,'then the other side has won,
or at least they're 90% of the way home.
The best thing that 'marriage' had going for it was basicallywhat they teach you the first day in law school:'If you hang a sign on a horse that says "cow," it does not make it a cow,'although today it might."
That's where we are:5 + 5 could = 11, if it works for the Democrats.
A cow could be a horse, if it works for the Democrats.
The thing is, discrimination has never been a part of marriage. "

Pelosi is bound for HELL !
Those who support homosexuals are
against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have
NO sympathy for homosexuals!
Homosexuality is a
"Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"
The answer is in the definition of "
REPROBATE".
rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]
- 1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.
-
Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.
- 2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.
-
They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.
- 3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.
And the reason
"why" is
given in the Bible.
God has
a cure for homosexuals.
But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?

To: 2ndDivisionVet
we take an oath to do just that, and that is the oath that President Obama is upholding. Then, Nancy must know about moral implications of the curse surrounding an oath when it is taken in bad faith.
A little clue - you place curses on your own head when you force God to be a witness to your lie.
Speak up Nancy, explain to me again how you took an oath to support and protect the U.S. Constitution.
