The Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) announced the first step that will allow the House of Representatives to be party to the defense of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
"I will convene a meeting of the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group for the purpose of initiating action by the House to defend this law of the United States," Boehner said in a statement.
This comes after the Justice Department announced last week that they would no longer uphold the constitutionality of DOMA in court but "work closely with the courts to ensure that Congress has a full and fair opportunity to participate in pending litigation."
Say what you want about the Republicans, but when it comes to the big issues, they're on the right side.
Nancy Pelosi, the arch-liberal Catholic who champions abortion and so many other societal toxins, isn't at all pleased with Boehner.
"Aside from standing up for a discriminatory law and failing to focus on jobs and the economy, this action places Republicans squarely on the wrong side of history and progress," Pelosi said in a statement in response.
When will the Church leadership in this country (i.e., her bishop in San Fran.) do something concrete to censure this scandalous woman?
