Quick Fact - The House Approves Funding to Defend DOMA

An addendum to today's earlier post re: misplaced priorities...

In another case of wasting resources, the new House of Representatives also found time last week to authorize House lawyers to continue putting together cases promoting the enforcement of the Defense of Marriage Act  for the Justice Department.

"The vote (to approve funding) done as one of the first actions of the new Congress, is the first time that the entire House has acted to approve the House's defense of DOMA and comes as the Supreme Court is considering one of the challenges to the law."  (Chris Geidner, BuzzFeed staff writer)

This is a total waste of time and taxpayer dollars since the Justice Department has already said it will not take up any case defending the DOMA, sighting questions about the law's constitutionality
