Obama administration urges justices to overturn anti-gay marriage law
 
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration outlined its argument on Friday why the U.S. Supreme Court should strike down a federal law that defines marriage as between a man and woman.
 
Solicitor General Donald Verrilli filed a brief with the court saying that section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional, expanding on the administration's approach to the controversial 1996 law, which it has formally opposed since February 2011.
 
Section 3 defines marriage under federal law as being between a man and a woman.
 
The law denies federal benefits to same-sex married couples that are granted to married heterosexuals.
 
The administration's position is that the law violates the guarantee of equal protection under the law.

The MSM will not touch this one.

This is no surprise.  They are also strong arming and threatening state legislatures over gun control laws.

John Lott was on Mark Levin's show last night talking about what this Administration is up to.  He has written a book called "At the Brink".

Can we impeach him now?  His oath of office includes defending the laws the United States, does it not?

Impeachment proceedings are brought up in the House, but there is no way the Senate would take it up.

And upholding the Constitution of the United States, which he ignores at will.

Article II, Section 3 of the US Constitution: "(The President) shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed".

Not that the Constitution means anything to Preezy O'Choom.
