Outrage Re: Activist Massachusetts Judge Chips Away at the Defense of Marriage Act
‘This judge’s claim that there’s no reason for marriage to be defined as ‘one man and one woman’ should go down as one of the most outrageous rulings in court history.’
In what has been called a “wild pair of rulings” designed to undermine marriage – and force the federal government to recognize same-s*x marriage – U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro of Massachusetts ruled unconstitutional a section of a 1996 law that defines marriage as between one man and one woman and prevents one state from using the Constitution’s “full faith and credit clause” from imposing same-s*x marriage on the rest of the country.
In the first case – Gill v. Office of Personnel Management – Tauro found that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) violated the Due Process clause of the Fifth Amendment that requires equal protection under the law.
In the second case – Massachusetts v. Health and Human Services – he ruled that DOMA also violated the 10th Amendment, which reserves power to the states or to the people.
