Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) today said, “My own belief is that when two
people love each other and enter the contract of marriage, the Federal
government should honor that,” and then announced her intention to
introduce a bill to repeal DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act that bans
federal recognition of same-sex marriages, into the Senate. This comes just
hours after Attorney General Eric Holder announced President Obama believes
DOMA to be unconstitutional and they have agreed to not defend the fifteen-
year old law in court.
In a statement, Senator Feinstein announced, “As a Member of the Judiciary
Committee, it is my intention to introduce legislation that will once and
for all repeal the Defense of Marriage Act,” adding, “I opposed the
Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It was the wrong law then; it is the wrong
law now; and it should be repealed.” |
