Prop 8 Supporters Try to go around President Obama's DOMA Stance


The lawyers for the Haters are ignoring President Obama's stance on DOMA, saying that it has no bearing on a California case.

Here's what they are trying to do
As a result, the attorneys are urging a federal appeals court to keep blocking same-sex unions while it considers the constitutionality of the ballot measure known as Proposition 8.


The lawyers said in court papers filed Monday that the rationale for keeping the voter-approved ban in effect is the same now as it was last summer, when the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals put a trial judge's order overturning Proposition 8 on hold.


Lawyers for two gay couples are asking the 9th Circuit to let same-sex marriages resume in California.
Good grief.
