Here is Bill Clinton with his argument that though he signed it into law, the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional and should be overturned. I agree that it is and should be. I don't quite buy his arguments for signing it. Yes, the D.O.M.A. perhaps headed off a Constitutional Amendment that might have been far more discriminatory and harder to reverse. I can accept that gays might have had less rights with the D.O.M.A. than without it. But if Clinton hadn't signed it, it would have become law anyway. Congress easily had the votes to override his veto. He did not make that law happen. He just endorsed it.
