60 House Democrats Fail To Sign On To Court Challenge To Overturn DOMA
Chris Geidner reports at

One
third of House Democrats broke with their leaders today and kept their
names off a brief urging a federal appeals court to strike down the
Defense of Marriage Act, which limits federal recognition of marriages
to those between one man and one woman. The majority of Democrats joined
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's argument, which her office
described in a news release as "the Democratic Members' brief," but the
break among Democrats offers a glimpse at remaining divisions inside the
party. Pelosi, joined by Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) and 130 other
House Democrats, told the federal appeals court in California that they
believe Karen Golinski should succeed in her lawsuit challenging the
constitutionality of DOMA's federal definition of "marriage" and
"spouse."
Does your rep appear above?
