DOMA declared unconstitutional by Obama administration

The good news is that the Obama administration has determined that the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, is unconstitutional.  The bad news is that it still actually makes people angry when states are no longer allowed to discriminate against people.  My favorite Faux News anchor to hate, Megyn Kelly, is hilariously appalled at the sheer audacity of the federal government to finally get around to doing their jobs in protecting all citizens' right to legal, economic, and social equality:



House Speaker Boehner's response is equally as appalling/hilarious, for its blatant, glaring hypocrisy:
While Americans want Washington to focus on creating jobs and cutting spending, the President will have to explain why he thinks now is the appropriate time to stir up a controversial issue that sharply divides the nation.
Says the man who, while Americans want Washington to focus on creating jobs and cutting spending, thinks now is the appropriate time to focus on all sorts of new and creative ways to take away women's reproductive rights.
