Obama will not defend DOMA - Mar 01, 2011
The legislative action arm of a non-profit public policy organization is asking the public to fight the Obama administration's decision to no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
The administration backed away last week from defending DOMA, the law that defines marriage as between one man and one woman, in at least two federal courts where the law was ruled unconstitutional. But Chris Gacek, senior fellow of regulatory affairs at the Family Research Council, says Congress could get the last word if it decides to take action.
"What needs to happen is there has to be a resolution that Congress has to pass stating that the House will defend DOMA," Gacek explains. "And then they can hire attorneys and try to intervene in the court case up in Boston in the First Circuit Court of Appeals."
So Family Research Council Action has launched an online drive that allows the public to let their House members know that they want action.
"In the court below [the First Circuit], the district court judge declared DOMA unconstitutional. That ruling's going to stand unless it's reversed," the FRC senior fellow warns. "And so in that part of the country...DOMA will be unconstitutional, and then you're going to start to see this happen all over the place."
Gacek contends the House resolution is the only sound strategy to uphold traditional marriage at this point.
The First Circuit has jurisdiction in the states of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, and in Puerto Rico.?
