President Barack Obama has determined that a federal law that barred gay marriages was unconstitutional and told government lawyers to stop defending it in court, the U.S. Justice Department said on Wednesday, a move that will likely anger some conservative voters. A U.S. judge had ruled that a key provision of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) banning gay marriages was unconstitutional, but the administration had appealed, stating that it was obligated to defend federal laws when challenged.
The hot-button issue of same-sex marriage is the focus of a number of judicial and political battles. It is banned in most of the nation and legal only in the District of Columbia and five states -- Connecticut, Massachusetts, Iowa, New Hampshire and Vermont...
Obama decided that provision was unconstitutional and instructed Attorney General Eric Holder, who conducted a review of the law and gave him a recommendation, to stop defending it in federal court....

“a move that will likely anger some conservative voters”
I doubt if conservative voters could be any angrier.
His other hand will be down his pants....he is soooo excited to promote and legitimize his preferred orientation and make the Bible “hate speech” and Christianity illegal in one stroke of the pen.
He is disgusting and is so unconstitutional, we will no longer be a country which gets its rights from the Creator. We will have laws issued from Satan.
He did tell the truth about one thing....he is fundamentally transforming this country into the pagan Roman paradigm of orgies, perversion, pederasty, child sacrifice, women as 2nd class citizens, slavery and tyranny.
Great direction, America. You voted for ___________. I will let you fill in the blank, but whatever you put, it is should be supremely evil.
So I guess you have to demonstrate somewhere, sometime, something he did that is consistent with an understanding of the Constitution; and I don't mean that he thought he could effectively render it meaningless.

What about Obamacare? Didn't a judge somewhere find that unconstitutional?
Obama is an evil POS.
President Barack Obama has determined that a federal law that barred gay marriages was unconstitutional - -
yet the a - - continues to ignore the Federal Court Ruling that Obamacare is unconstitutional.
Alinski - "Incite your enemy to anger, then use that anger as a weapon against them."
Speak out - absolutely.
Act out - never. This is what the left wants - desperately. They need to be seen as peaceful, reasonable victims - of us ; the haters, the violent, the angry out of control right wing mobs. They tried to use the TEA party this way, but their rhetoric did not match the pictures the American people were seeing with their own eyes.
The One is perfectly suited for it - he’s a thug.
So I guess that any law the Zero see’s as unfit will no longer be enforced.
Yeah, we should now change the POTUS title to POSOTUS.
I despise that guy.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

That’s the true sign of who he is.
The destroyer!
And he is good.
I wonder what his kids think of him?
Are you kidding? They love the idea of daddy being our Marxist dictator for life. They'll never have to leave the white house. They'd live an entire lifetime on glorified welfare. Moochelle would be able to scarf up more freebies for herself she could ever imagine. I'm sure his coveting family is behind him 100%.
So much for checks and balances...why was it that we had three co-equal branches of government???
That’s right - how could I be so stupid....it’s the House, Senate, and the President!!!! I think I’m due another stint in the re-education camp!!!!
