Oh, did I say job creation? I meant gay marriage.
In the past week we've gotten, from Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN), H.R. 875:
... to prevent any federal court from deciding "any question pertaining to the interpretation of, or the validity under the Constitution" of DOMA.
... from Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA), H.Res. 45:
... to amend the U.S. Constitution to prohibit the U.S. Constitution and the constitution of any state from recognizing marriages other than "a man and a woman."
... from Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), H.Res 143:
... directing the Speaker to take "any and all actions necessary" to defend DOMA.
... and now today, the Republican leadership made it official: taxpayer money will be spent to defend the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).
To be fair, this does show the Republicans' laser-like focus on job creation ... for their in-house lawyers.
They'll get around to worrying about jobs for everyone else. Eventually.
