Re: DOMA is unconstitutional.
All HYPOCRITES:
Bill Cinton in statement also signed by Hillary: “By overturning the Defense of Marriage Act, the Court recognized that discrimination towards any group holds us all back in our efforts to form a more perfect union."
Signed DOMA into law.
Harry Reid: “a great, historic day for equality in America. The idea that allowing two loving, committed people to marry would have a negative impact on anyone else, or on our nation as a whole, has always struck me as absurd.”
Voted for DOMA.
Chuck Schumer: “The Supreme Court did the right thing here and helps us understand that the march to equality in America is unstoppable.”
Voted for DOMA as a member of the House.
Sen. Dick Durbin said the ruling “reaffirmed a founding principle of our nation: equal justice under the law.”
Voted for DOMA.
Patrick Leahy, said the ruling “confirms my belief that the Constitution protects the rights of all Americans."
Voted for DOMA.
"......House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer cheered on the Supreme Court even though he voted for DOMA. So did Rep. Rosa DeLauro, who’s rarely, if ever, accused of being a moderate Democrat. And so did Sens. Ben Cardin and Robert Menendez, both of whom were in the House when they voted for the law.
(PHOTOS: Dems who haven’t endorsed gay marriage)
Their changes of heart were the latest example of how thoroughly the politics of same-sex marriage have turned around for Democrats since President Barack Obama announced his support for it in May 2012. It’s not that these Democrats voted for the law themselves, of course — they had plenty of other Democrats on their side, as well as the wall-t0-wall support of the Republicans who were in Congress at the time.
The difference, though, is that no Republicans on Wednesday were cheering the death of the law they had supported.
In most cases, these Democrats could point to a moment years ago where they had announced their reversal on DOMA — although they’re mostly within the last couple of years, for a law that’s more than 15 years old....."

Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm
MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.
It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

KS is 100% custom to you and they do a fine job. If you look at other custom tailors, their prices are on par. I get my shirts when they are BOGOF.UNI88 wrote:I love tie bar and will probably need a new suit soon and will have to take a look at knot standard.Ibanez wrote:

Re: DOMA is unconstitutional.
Well, they could see the distribution of public opinion on the issue changing and they're politicians. Decades of brainwashing people from a very young age paid off for the "homosexuality is normal" movement.In most cases, these Democrats could point to a moment years ago where they had announced their reversal on DOMA — although they’re mostly within the last couple of years, for a law that’s more than 15 years old...
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
