| Description | U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on Wednesday announced she would introduce legislation that would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act in the wake of the Obama administration’s decision to no longer defend the statute in court.
“As a Member of the Judiciary Committee, it is my intention to introduce legislation that will once and for all repeal the Defense of Marriage Act,” Feinstein said. “My own belief is that when two people love each other and enter the contract of marriage, the Federal government should honor that. I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It was the wrong law then; it is the wrong law now; and it should be repealed.” |
