One major problem I have with this is that the President thinks he can pick and choose which laws to enforce, and this is not so. The President must enforce all laws, whether he agrees or disagrees with them.

  • He is enforcing it. Gays still can't get federal benefits. He is only working to get it repealed, which is perfectly within his rights and his responsibilities. Seriously, what are you talking about? It's like everything that comes out of your mouth has passed through your ass first.

  • Are you just being ignorant? He instructed the DoJ to note enforce it in a memo. Look it up

  • Link? All I can find is him saying not to defend it in court, which is just a recommendation. They can still defend it if they want.

  • Same for me RC5908, perhaps ArchNinja should show his source before insulting people?

  • Again, stopping the defense of it in court =/= not enforcing it. In fact, here's a quote from your own article: [quote]President Obama told Holder that the Executive Branch of the government will continue to enforce Section 3 “consistent with the Executive’s obligation to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, unless and until Congress repeals Section 3 or the judicial branch renders a definitive verdict against the law’s constitutionality. This course of action respects the actions of the prior Congress that enacted DOMA, and it recognizes the judiciary as the final arbiter of the constitutional claims raised.”[/quote] Do you think about what you say before you speak?

  • Clearly not, though I'm sure he's going to argue that it's the same thing.

  • Why do you think he's working to get rid of it?
