The President’s refusal to defend DOMA, a federal statute enacted by overwhelming margins in the Senate (85 - 14) and House (342 - 67) and signed into law by President Clinton
Presidential responsibilities given to him in our Constitution?
“he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed”
I do not think it says you shall faithfully execute all laws you agree with.
President Obama has instructed the Justice Department to stop defending the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, which has since 1996 allowed states to refuse to recognize same-sex partnerships legally recognized in other states.
President Obama believes that section – Section 3 — “is unconstitutional” given the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment (including its equal protection component), Holder wrote, and the president has instructed the Department of Justice to no longer defend the law in those two lawsuits.
At the same time they a proceeding with Obamacare which has been ruled “UNCONSTITUTIONAL” by a Judge who has the responsibility under our Constitution to determine the “constitutionality” of laws. But, oh well, the Constitution is old, maybe they did mean to allow Obama to make such rulings………….
As states across our country are in turmoil, spurred on by the President, he fears that they (the democrats) are on the verge of losing a huge cash cow, the forced union dues of public employees, he is playing his cards for a replacement source of dollars…………HELLO GAY PEOPLE.
PLUS
EQUALS

He's one of the biggest jokes I've seen in a long time. Jimmy Carter still has him beat though. It's so sad Sarge.
Have a terrific day. :)
I feel that this is an impeachable offense. Of course, that would require politicians to have kahunas, which eliminates most of the current crop (Allen West not included).
I think that Obama's term as President is 'unconstitutional' because he won't produce a valid, long form birth certiicate (among other items).
To instruct the Justice Department to stop defending the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act is only a 'ploy' to divert attention away from the real problems in US., ie.., Labor Unions, illegal immigration, and so forth, not to mention the hell that is breaking out in the Middle East, particularly Lybia.
Be ye not fooled...
This guy is acting like a king, changing laws to suit him and his cronies. Wait. That's what they do in IL anyway. We lose.
See ya Saturday. Big hugs, honey...
He continues to amaze me with his ignorance of his responsibilities as the occupant of the Oval Office.

Is this event really any different than allowing Presidential Signing Statements?
