Family Research Council Denounces Obama's "Shoddy" Defense Of DOMA

"Apparently, the administration is so fixated on making the homosexual community happy that it's not even working to uphold what's best for kids. In this instance, the Justice Department seems to imply that by doing their job they're somehow doing America a favor. Hardly! Defending the law is DOJ's whole reason for existence. So while the President may have strong feelings on the matter, they by no means excuse him or his administration from doing its duty. Since the President is failing to live up to the responsibilities his elected office holds, it is within Congress' explicit right to intervene to defend the laws they have passed. This current appeal is already shoddy substitute for the compelling argument that the statute--and American families--deserve." - Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, via press release.
