Protecting Marriage is Irrational?
07/20/2010
This week’s radio commentary…
Your values are irrational. That’s what U.S. District Judge Joseph Tauro said in a ruling handed down on July 8th, declaring the federal Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, unconstitutional. For the purposes of the federal government, DOMA protects and preserves the definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
In his atrocious ruling, Judge Tauro said that DOMA has no rational basis. In other words, no rational human being would say that there is a reason to preserve the traditional definition of marriage in federal statute. Tauro’s opinion claims there is no “rational relationship” between protecting marriage and a government objective.
