It has been 47 years since the passage of the Civil Rights Act, and 46 years since the passage of the Voting Rights Act. And yet the political leaders of this nation of liberty cannot seem to muster the courage and principle to sweep away one remaining example of institutionalized, government-sanctioned discrimination: The 1996 law that denies the right of marriage to same-sex couples.
The law, the Defense of Marriage Act, was passed in the heat of election-year fear and bigotry against men who want to marry other men, and women who want to marry other women.
It was a bipartisan act of cruelty, sponsored initially by Republicans but passed overwhelmingly by both houses of Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton. It was then, and still is, unconstitutional, because it violates the principles of federalism by allowing states to refuse to recognize marriages performed in other states and because it is blatantly discriminatory....

...the Defense of Marriage Act... passed overwhelmingly by both houses of Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton. It was then, and still is, unconstitutional, because it violates the principles of federalism by allowing states to refuse to recognize marriages performed in other states and because it is blatantly discriminatory...

I like the high-five idea too. It fits in with our bloodthirsty tendencies, Civ.

Hey! They don't have a clue what's in the Constitution, so if their leaders tell them that some issue is "unconstitutional," the little creeps believe it without checking themselves.
If you can get them to research what they're told, some of them leave the Dark Side, but most of them are so brainwashed that they just sip the kool-aid and turn back to their video games.
