That's asking way too much of a social conservative. I've always found it funny that those who claim to be the most religious and righteous use as their primary weapons trickery, deceit, and outright lying.

"President Obama now believes that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional and will no longer defend the 15-year-old law in federal court, the Justice Department announced Wednesday."

Yeah, you're intentionally misrepresenting this. Obama says he believes DOMA to be unconstitutional, and his administration will not defend it in court against legal challenge.

He didn't say he's going to "ignore" it and not enforce it while it still stands. His administration is noticing the law and still enforcing it.

LOL. Twist and spin it all you want. He ignored the law and told the DOJ to do the same.

What? Telling the truth is "twisting and spinning"? You're the one willfully misrepresenting it.

Direct yes or no question: Is the Obama administration enforcing, in other words not ignoring, DOMA?

Lie.

Obama has said that his administration will not defend it in the courts but will continue to enforce it until congress repeals it.

Simple words... you're either not getting it, or would rather lie.

President Obama can't ignore that law, and even if undefended by the DOJ, they SCOTUS *could* still decide it isn't unconstitutional. The President is not the arbiter of what laws are or are not, unconstitutional.

You are intentionally misrepresenting the facts, a.k.a. lying.

Is it outside Presidential authority to do what President Obama did?

It is what he said no me. You folks can squeal till the cows come home in defense of your leader.

As for ignoring the law do I have to provide more examples? Actually I won't since this thread is specifically about DOMA and I don't play your left handed change the subject tactics.
