GOP spending 3 million tax payer dollars defending DOMA

Defense of Marriage Act, if you're bad with acronyms.
>Cue the budget-conscious Republicans on Capitol Hill, who authorized the spending of up to $2.75 million in public funds to hire lawyers to defend DOMA on their behalf. Apparently, that was not a big enough check, so on Jan. 4, the House Republicans raised the fee ceiling to $3 million.
Also, Every time stricter gun laws are proposed, Republicans cry foul and invoke the second amendment and constitutional rights. But they defend laws like the Defense of Marriage Act, which denies equal rights to a minority - rights that are guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution. Gotta love how the Republicans will only defend [i]some[/i] rights, you know?
Oh Shit Republicans what are you doing.

2 RepliesNot to ignite a terrible hell-fire of arguments and rage, I'll just say that us Canadians (at least the people I talk to here in BC) are confused by American politics sometimes. Seriously, guys. You should take after your northern neighbours and have boring politics. The only interesting political scandal of late was what, the thing with the new fighter jets being too expensive or something?
