Lies, prejudice, and straight-up-gibberish. It's NOM's new pro-DOMA commercial and we're going to take it down. Let's look at the worst of it.
"he unilaterally decided to no longer defend our country's Defense of Marriage Act"
Nope. Not unilateral. Obama's decision was backed up by a recommendation by the Department of Justice, and by legal precedent that holds discriminatory laws to a higher standard of review.
"DOMA was passed by an overwhelming bipartisan majority"
That was true, but a long time ago. And that bipartisan majority is long-gone. In fact, the guy who wrote DOMA, Republican Bob Barr, later apologized for it. And now he's one of the guys trying to get it repealed.
"and signed into law by President Clinton"
You want to bring up Clinton? Okay. He also says DOMA was a mistake and needs to be repealed. And he supports marriage equality. So, yeah! Clinton!
"instead of doing his job to uphold our law, he's dumping it behind our backs."
No. This is gibberish.
It's not his job. He's not dumping it. It's not behind our backs. And he's not "dumping marriage."
