...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...
That's rich -- it violates federalism and is unconstitutional because it upholds the powers reserved to the states.

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.
