Because the White House decided to dawdle over DOMA, because they spent two years trying to convince you that it was simply impossible for the administration not to defend DOMA in court, we lost precious time. How precious? Well, today we found out that the House Republicans have hired one of the DC’s top Republican lawyers to defend DOMA in court.

Had the President stopped defending DOMA two years ago when we told him to, we’d have had a good two years of no one defending the law in court. Why? Because Democrats controlled the House, and it’s the House’s prerogative as to whether they want to defend in court laws the President refuses to defend. A Pelosi House wouldn’t have spent the money or time defending DOMA. John Boehner’s is.

Had this been done two years ago, when we asked, we could have had two years of victories. Now we have this.

PS And just how much of the taxpayers’ money is John Boehner wasting on this five million dollar a year lawyer? There’s always money to be found when a Republican wants to bash a gay or invade a country.
