Obama Admin. Calls on Supreme Court to Strike Down Defense of Marriage Act Defining Marriage As Between a Man and Woman

Feb. 22, 2013 9:20pm Madeleine Morgenstern

The Obama administration on Friday formally urged the Supreme Court to strike down the federal Defense of Marriage Act defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

In a brief filed Friday evening, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli argued that DOMA’s section three, which bars married same-sex couples from filing joint federal tax returns and other federal spousal benefits, is unconstitutional:

Section 3 of DOMA violates the fundamental constitutional guarantee of equal protection. The law denies to tens of thousands of same-sex couples who are legally married under state law an array of important federal benefits that are available to legally married opposite-sex couples. Because this discrimination cannot be justified as substantially furthering any important governmental interest, Section 3 is unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in United States v. Windsor on March 27. At issue is whether the law violates the Fifth Amendment guarantee of equal protection for legally married same-sex couples. The case surrounds Edith Windsor, who was forced to pay a federal estate tax of $363,053 upon the death of her wife, while heterosexual spouses are generally able to inherit estates tax-free.

The Obama administration’s brief comes almost exactly a year after Obama instructed the Justice Department to no longer defend DOMA’s constitutionality.

Call it anything but Marriage. You can have equal protection just don’t lump yourselves in with Married people. I believe that Term is already defined. So you’ll need a new law to encompass whatever it is they have. Can’t believe Oboma is doing this to save anyone money. This could be a good scam by government to cash in on gay estates.

Why don’t we just flush the U.S. Constitution down the toilet, and have a free for all. Isn’t this what we always wanted? No laws to stand in our ways of having just plain, and wild fun. We just want to have fun. I heard this line before, but I believe that laws stand in our ways of doing our thing. If I want to smoke pot, I should be able to do that anywhere, and everywhere I please. I should also be able to marry my sheep if I so desire. These damn laws are just in the way of me having my well entitled fun. In time I believe that people like me will change everything, and I mean everything.

Im curious keaton. You had the presence of mind to find out how many species of animals have same sex marriage, did you ever consider it might be natural selection? A homosexual animal doesnt reproduce does it? I also wonder, did you research the number of species who practice cannabalism, patricide, fratricide, infanticide, or how many had the capability to reason? How many species of animal will throw their feces at you? You say homosexuality is natural, what about child molesters? What about those who are attracted to animals? Just as natural, right? Theyre born that way, right? I mean, where do you draw the line? You can say that any perversity is natural, but its really not is it?

Our lives are short on this planet. Compared to eternity, it’s only a few moments. But the decisions we make in those few moments will determine HOW we spend that eternity. I believe the definition of marriage is a covenant between a man, a woman and God. If one of those elements is missing, you can call it whatever you want, but it is not marriage. This President is making decisions that he knows are wicked. And his decisions will determine how he will spend eternity.

Oh BOY, now Obummer will give gay marriage to the gay peoples and he’ll have yet ANOTHER batch of followers.

For those of you that are wondering, we dislike gay marriage because we find what two gay or lesbian
persons do behind locked doors unnatural and unsettling. And it is, simply because they can’t reproduce. Try it yourself; you can’t create a child with two men or two women. You need both genders. And for those who say you’re born that way; you aren’t. You choose to be that way. No kid is born in love with the same gender. It just doesn’t work like that. I know this because a good friend of mine was formerly gay, and he described it as one part drug addiction, one part demonic possession and one part hate plague. I believe him, especially on the hate plague part because every single time they get “offended” because someone believes differently than they do they violently explode and call you bigoted and closed minded. I don’t hate people who choose that lifestyle. But that doesn’t mean I don’t find it unnatural and unholy.

It is the union between a man and a WOMAN – MARRIAGE.

TH777 God also made all the animals on earth… yet homosexuality has been observed in over a hundred different species.. so you tell me! is homosexuality natural? hint: yes… Or is God just an A-Hole? hint: possibly
___________________________________________________________

Homosexuality is not natural. It is a perversion of nature. It means that the specie has something wrong going on in it’s brain and/or instinct. Sometimes animals just do things because they can. Is a male dog humping his male owner’s leg really practicing intra-species homosexuality, or is he doing that because it feels good?

Human homosexuals trying to prove that homosexuality is “normal and natural” because animals and other species do it, is ridiculous.

  That means no trust was set up by a competant attorney. Joint ownership as in instead of John & John owning something it becomes John OR John, with right of survivorship. Simple term changes. Had I not had everything listed that way, I would have had a great deal of problems in changing things to my name after my husband passed away. The arguement is moot if proper preperation is made. Living wills designate who maked dicissions, wills do the rest, so do trusts set up for whoever you want. Bad planning does not constitute a problem for the whole country.

  How does encouraging the Supreme Court to strike down a discriminatory law make Obama hell bent on dismantling this country? And how is this coercing the Judicial Branch? He is simply making his opinion known (again) and asking the court to make the right decision. If a conservative senator encouraged them to uphold DOMA, you would have no problem with that.

  Joe and Jane homosexual do deserve equal protection under the law. If you believe in the constitution, you cannot deny same sex couples the ability to file taxes jointly etc. etc. It neither picks your pocket nor breaks your leg.
  
  As far as marriage, they can do that now. They can call it what ever they want. “In your face marriage”, Super Marriage, I don’t care. Provide them with what they are guaranteed by the constitution, which is equal protection under the law, and they can marry and have all the civil protection the rest of us take for granted. The issue go’s away. And your pocket is neither picked nor your leg broken.
  
  Fail to be reasonable and objective about this clear constitutional issue and you will soon find the government forcing churches to perform same sex marriages against their will. Which is what many progressives want. I’m sure we can all agree that we’re not for tearing one institution down to build another up. That leaves us all less free. Make no mistake, that is the end game. But as those who still believe in the constitution we must not toss it aside when it doesn’t suit our sensibilities.
  
  Get government out of the marriage business and we are all more free.

  @HARRY
  
  I did not see 1,100+ laws, but regarding some of the ones I did see…
  
  Sococial Security Benefits -
  
  The government should not be involved in retirement savings programs, so I would eliminate the program for ALL people.
  
  Retirement, disability and medical insurances are the responsibility of the individual.
  
  Taxation -
  
  The government should get out of the marriage business. If it wants to incentivize people to raise children, it can do so by providing tax breaks.
  
  The tax break can be tiered to accommodate different styles; with the most effective style getting the biggest tax break and the least effective getting the smallest break and may even have to pay an extra tax to disincentivize this choice.
  
  For example, a child raised by a heterosexual couple is more likely to become a productive child in society – they would get the highest break. Children of single parents tend to be the least productive, and the parents (both) may have to pay a tax.
  
  Firing people -
  
  I believe any employer had the right to fire anyone at anytime for any reason…it’s their business and no one is born with the right to be employed.
  
  I hope we can find agreence on some of these points, and I would be curious to see what others think.
  
  As I have said before – I am tired of the blanket ‘equal rights’ argument – mainly because they are not equal situations, but also because it is not specific – and it appeals to emotion, not reason.

  HARRY POTTER, every free adult male in the US has the same right. The right to marry an adult female. We don’t have extra rights, we all have equal rights. If you choose not to utilize that right don’t complain about it.

  The USA is about to become a 3RD world country where we go to a barter system because it will take a pickup truck load of money to buy a loaf of bread. The only thing that will buy a loaf is gold, silver, ammo & guns. If you have seeds or a garden with produce that will work also. All this and Obama is just worrying about Q_ueers & L_izzies getting married. The 6 $$$ trillion he has added to the national debt is chump change to him.

  First of all, I said marriage, not sex. But I disagree, clearly the penis was intended to fit into the anus, this allows anyone, male or female to enjoy it. And there is no worry about accidental pregnancy which would eventually overpopulate the earth, and lead to the fall of civilization.
  ————————————————————————————————————————————————–
  Are you out of your mind? The anus’ sole purpose is to excrete solid waste. Nothing else. A medical Doctor could confirm that. Also, STD’s transmit far more easily through anal sex. Many people use it that way and it’s their business but it doesn’t change that fact that it’s not for that use. Pregnancy can be easily avoided through many means by responsible individuals. I wouldn’t promote anal sex as a birth control method and neither do Medical Doctors.

  Think about it! WHAT would make a man sexually attracted to other males (or a women to other women)? 1) Biologically only a male and female can reproduce and create a child. 2) Only a male can be a Father and only a Female can be a mother (pretenders don’t count); 3) The reproduction organ of a male can only naturally impregnate a female by….you know the rest of the story;
  So the main purpose of sex is reproduction, but our creator made us so we could have pleasure during this process. The act when done the way our creator ordained it…two becoming one through marriage then sex; creating a family, husband and wife then creating a child if so blessed and becoming Father and Mother.
  
  What part of the aforementioned would totally be unnatural if brought into the equation?
  
  Gays on the other hand want it this way. A male (or female) sexually attacked to another male (female same) in the case of males they get together trying to duplicate the male-female role but cannot so they find another place to put it that they feel represents a female! Now the female gays have to use a object of some sort to mimic the male role. Etc., etc., etc.,
  
  Does anyone else see the fallacy in this. To me it is a plain and simply mental perversion going on in someone head.

  Brother:
  
  You make some very good arguments. Most of what you are saying stems from the idea of the government completely removing itself from marriage. As I have said, that would be completely fine with me, then we would all be equal. But we both know that isn’t going to happen. The 1,138 laws and benefits I believe mostly relate to taxes and insurance, etc that married couples get, but gay couples cannot get because they cannot get married. Again, if you removed federal recognition of marriage, that would fix the problem, you are correct. But since that will never happen, the only way to make everyone equal is to give the same rights and benefits by allowing gays to marry. Civil Unions do not offer the same benefits, and they are not even currently recognized at the national level or across state lines. For insurance, this is the responsibility of the individual, but if you are offering benefits to one couple and not another, then there is a problem. Again, this is all solved by the government out of marriage, or legalizing gay marriage. In raising children, I would say that it is most beneficial to be raised in a stable environment with two parents. But gender should not be the issue here.

  Continued:
  The firing case stems from the Civil Rights movement of the 60′s. With whites only restaurants and water fountains, and back of the bus nonsense. The problem was so centered in society, that black people could not just take their business elsewhere, or find a better job, because the entire southern half of the US discriminated against them. This is why we have laws that prohibit people from baring service to others based on race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. You could argue that these laws are no longer needed, and I would agree mostly. But as long as they are in place, and one group has protections, whether they be African Americans, Christians, gays, whoever, you cannot deny the same protections to other groups.

  If you truly believe that is equality, then why not only let same-sex couples get married? Then everyone would have the same rights.
  
  El pistoffo:
  
  Yes, many diseases are more easily transmitted through the lining of the anus, which is thinner. But all the same diseases can be transmitted through a woman’s front hole as well. Besides, you can use the same methods to prevent disease transmission as you to do prevent pregnancy. Many people may use the front hole for sex, but that doesn’t change the fact that its primary purpose is to push out babies. (Any argument you make against gay sex, I can make about straight sex. If you are straight, that’s fine, but don’t go acting like your acts are any different or better than ours.)

  Please read my earlier comments, and you will see why you are wrong here. Besides, gays are not seeking to mimic straight roles in sex, we are seeking to form a physical bond with our partner. I am a man attracted to men. No misconceptions about women here.

  @ Keatonc333 My, you talk SO much, with very little to say.
  1: A Marriage between a man and a woman has been in existence for thousands of years…Do you even know WHY?
  2: Congress did NOT create any Law Respecting an Establishment of Religion” …Do you UNDERSTAND that STATEMENT?? HONESTLY?? It also does NOT CONFLICT with the FACT that America was BUILT as a CHRISTIAN NATION…(WHICH by the way is NOT a “religion”)
  3:Being a homosexual is MORE a choice in TODAY’S world than “natural”….Of course there are sometimes “FREAKS of Nature”, but for decades, Gays have tried their BEST to indoctrinate people into not only believing that their way of life is all good, but joining in their perverted lifestyle– when in FACT it is NOT natural, It IS against EVERY LAW of NATURE.
  4:You can preach the bible all you want, but IF you are at ALL “religious”, or believe in God, you KNOW in your very soul that it has been damned to HELL if you live like that.
  5: You are WRONG, “Most people” do NOT agree that the LGBT lifestyle is OK. SURE, schools have started telling children that it is, but that is BRAINWASHING people that do NOT fully understand the difference between RIGHT and WRONG. What MOST people believe is that IF you want to live like that…DO IT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, but STOP SHOVING IT IN OUR FACES, & STOP trying to TEACH OUR CHILDREN that it is “good”..Marriage is a SACRED act people like you, are trying to PERVERT. LYING, SKEWED polls, & calling “Bigot

  for my liberty… “Marriage” – not to be confused with “Holy Matrimony” – is a legal contract requiring a license issued by the state. As such, it is inherently unconstitutional to deny same-sex couples the right to enter into such a contract that is afforded every other consenting couple of legal age.
  also as I have said earlier.. homosexuality is demonstrated in over 1,500 species on earth. Species that A. have no agenda and B. are the very definition of natural.. and finally if christianity is not a religion why are churches tax exempt? saying christianity is not a religion is absolutely RIDICULOUS! and finally if one does not believe in God why should they have to abide by his laws?

  Liberty:
  1. Marriage has been in constant change for thousands of years, this is just a continuation of the change. At one time marriage was a middle-aged man purchasing a teenage girl from her parents. Now marriage is considered to be a union of two equals.
  2. The Constitution guarantees your right to practice whatever religion you wish (and yes, Christianity is a religion). However, the government cannot force the population to observe one religion or sanction one religion over another.
  3. Homosexuality is definitely not a choice, and you cannot turn a straight person gay. If you truly think being gay is a choice, then I challenge you to be gay for a day. I don’t mean have sex, just decide to be attracted to the same gender as yourself. And how is homosexuality against the laws of nature? Homosexuality has been around as long as humanity, other animals exhibit homosexual traits, and everything “fits” just as nicely as straight sex. Seems pretty natural to me.
  4. Actually, the Bible does not seem to preach that, and anyone who really understands the Bible will recognize that the message of the Bible is love and acceptance. If gays are damned, then so are shellfish eaters.
  5. You can argue the polls all you want, but several independent, reliable polls have found that a little over half of Americans support gay marriage. And we will stop shoving our gayness down your throats when you stop shoving your straightness down our throats.

  @Keaton it doesn’t matter how many times you libs say it or how much you want to believe it but arguing against same sex behavior based on one’s belief in God does not establish any religion. Many religions exist that condemn the behavior and many people who are not adherents of a specific religion feel the same. None of them are ‘state’ religions nor do they want to be. This behavior (like many others currently in vogue) are against the laws of nature. Quit misusing the establishment clause to argue against those who oppose legalization of aberrant behavior; you’ve got no case.

  I am dissapointed that the REAL issues here are not “common discussion points”. 1) “marriage” already is defined, legally, civilly and morally. Leave the word alone! Get a new word that is appropriate!
  
  2) It is about taxes and deductions, nothing else! Progressives find it much easer to “change the language” than to change the Tax laws.
  
  With the way congress responds to special interest money, I would think that be the more useful strategy rather than redefine the dictionary.

  Keaton, you lie: “.. homosexuality is demonstrated in over 1,500 species on earth.”
  
  Well, okay, maybe you are just ignorant of facts and are simply spreading such misinformation believing it to be true.
  
  Oblamers complaint to the Supreme Court is vapid. DOMA recognizes that marriage is between a man and a woman. There can be no “marriage” between people of the same sex, unless you re-define marriage. Then again, you can redefine anything to fit your purposes or opinions. Like I just redefined “anus.” It is now synonomous with “Keatonc333,” and I’m sure the regulars on The Blaze will agree. But this does not change what an “anus” actually is, it just plants a picture in the minds of those who see your name.
  
  And Oblamer’s complaint is vapid because DOMA specifically says you cannot apply the term “marriage” to any relationship except one between a man and a woman. All others need not apply.

  It doesn’t matter if multiple religions condemn homosexuality, if you are judging them based on YOUR religion (the Bible), then that has no place in any law or in government. There are also religions tat accept homosexuality. If you don’t like homosexuality, that’s fine. But you cannot legislate based on what you believe or what you just don’t like.

  Yes, marriage has been between a man and a woman for a long time, but the word has been constantly changing, this is just the continuation of that change. There was a time when marriage was a middle aged man purchasing a teenage girl from her parents. This is not longer the case. Today marriage is between 2 equals. And yes, this is about the rights and benefits that you are afforded but gay people are not. In 21 states, civil unions are currently banned, where they are allowed, they are not afforded the same benefits as marriage. We are seeking equality.
  
  John:
  Those laws stem from the fact that someone is being harmed in each of those cases. Who is being harmed by a loving couple being together or getting married?
  
  Sparky:
  There are many definitions of marriage, what it means to you is not necessarily what it means to others Also, the term marriage has been constantly changing, this is just continuing that change, see my post above. To over half of Americans, marriage can certainly be between 2 men or 2 women.

  You are right, it is instinct. Straight men have a desire to stick their male parts in female holes, and gay men have a desire to stick their male parts in male holes. Each one is a proper use of the holes and appendages. But no, it is when young people are misled and told that being gay is somehow wrong, and they are too ashamed to accept themselves that people wind up confused about their sexual orientation. Young people need to be told that some people are gay, some people are straight, and there is nothing wrong with either one.

  So many haters!!! So, you must believe an infallable God, made a mistake in creating humans who have an attraction to their own sex? Well, I am not a mistake and neither is the man I have commited 27 years to. We attend church, we tithe and we celebrate our loving commitment. Sex is certainly not the reason for our long term commitment. We observe the same vows taken by hetero couples, for better for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health til death do us part. My track record is definetly better than half of the same sex couples who swear their love before God and then head to divorce court. Notonly did they lie to God, they break up families and disillusion their children. As for no children, tell that to my adopted son who was saved from a life with no father at home and an abusive mother. And by the way, he serves honorably in the US army as a military inteligence officer. I have been the caregiver for my “husband” for 8 years after he suffered a debilitating brain tumor. Tr walking in my shoes for one day. You coud not!!! All I want is for my spouse to receive my socila security benefit should I pass before him. Call it what u want or do not want. My relationship with God and my spouse are just as favored in the eyes of God as a stright couple. Judge not lest ye be judged and all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. In accepting Jesus Christ as my personal savior, gives me equal footing on entering the kingdom of God.

  Even leaving God out of it homosexual marriage is a farce. The whole concept is a farce and a perversion of nature. I do give homosexuals credit for this. They have successfully brainwashed a weak minded public into accepting this. There is no proof anyone is born homosexual and no amount of trendy wannabe stars getting their names into the spotlight with it will change that.
  Spare me the whole animals do it so we should buy into this. I don’t base my morality on animals. Homosexual “marriage” is a farce and a cheap knock off copy of the real thing. Just as costume jewelry are not the real thing.

  The next tactic is to use what homosexual call “camp”. As an example, when attempting to deny that there is a homosxual agenda, rather then suporrted retorts, you will see this “I lost my copy of the gay agenda, can you make a copy for me?”
  
  The next tactic is to accuse anyone who does not buy into the agenda of being a homosexual themselves.

  Hell no. The rectum stores poop. It is highly infectious. It’s proper use is to pass waste material out of the body. Also, the anal sphincter automatically contracts when penetration is attempted, because it is made for evacuation, not penetration. The lining of the rectum tears easily upon penetration.

  No Harry, the definition of marriage has not been constantly changing. It had remained the same from its inception until some people clammored for acceptance about 10 years ago. DOMA restates the obvious, the definition of marriage involves a man and a woman.
  
  It’s kind of like Pluto. For 80 years it had been one of nine “planets” to circle our Sun. By a new definition, Pluto is not a planet. This was a scientific necessity though, not a random whine. Whatever the definition of “planet,” Pluto remains what it has always been, and has not changed.

  I am a Christian. I read the bible and try to truly seek. My hands are full with dealing with my own sins so I try not to judge. Homosexuality is mentioned along side other sins, even lying. We may not all be homosexuals but everyone has lied, everyone has most likely had and entertained a lustful thought. I wish my Christian brothers and sister would acknowledge that. We each make our own choices and deal with our own consequences.
  Having said that, the bible also says that it’s not only those who commit the sin, but those who approe of it as well. So I won’t support a law that approves of what God has said is sin, no matter what issues that may be addressing. But again, that is MY choice.
  Christian brothers/sisters: I know for a fact that if Jesus were here on this blog He would be saying “those without sin, cast the first stone”. So the name calling and venom traded here does nothing but show your lack of love, and misrepresentation of Christ. Shame on you! Time to check the plank in your eye.

I foresee a time when Biblical definitions are no longer used to make laws that effect everyone in a country with freedom of religion.

  If you’re gay, an Atheist, Christian/Catholic, Muslim, Buddhist, Jew, Daoist, Mormon, Satanist, Scientologist, Amish, Sikh, Zoroastrianist, or any other religion who cares?
  
  Unfortunately, this bureaucratic despotism which it appears you so dearly love, has infringed on our daily lives over many decades, and have indebted all of the citizens to foreign countries.
  
  Requiring homosexuality to be recognized is nothing more than another infringement into our daily lives.

  Why gays want to be bound by an archaic marriage contract is beyond me.
  Develop something better and exclude heterosexuals from it.
  Problem solved.
