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.
