Ed Lindsey on DOMA Decision

“In a statement today regarding the US Supreme Court decision on the DOMA legislation that my friend Bob Barr passed when he was in Congress years ago and then later repudiated, Bob said “if it (traditional marriage) were on the ballot in Georgia today, I’d vote that way.”

“Bob must have been so busy working for the ACLU that he missed that protecting traditional marriage was on the ballot in Georgia in 2004.  In fact, I campaigned to pass that constitutional amendment while running for the State House that year.

“Given Bob’s gymnastic changes in his position on DOMA over the years, we do not know what his position was on traditional marriage in 2004, but I campaigned for it then and I will stay the course for my constituents now.”
