DOMA opposed by 133 House Democrats - Mackenzie Weinger - POLITICO.com

DOMA opposed by 133 House Democrats - Mackenzie Weinger - POLITICO.com: "Over 100 House members filed an amicus brief Thursday in support of a major challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act, saying the provision denying same-sex married couples federal rights is unconstitutional and undermines the interests of Congress.

The brief states the 133 House Democrats think the DOMA section defining marriage as a legal union only between one man and one woman “lacks a rational relationship to any legitimate federal purpose and accordingly is unconstitutional.”"
