DOMA: Defense of Marriage Act's fate in doubt..Rep. Vicki Hartzler (R-Mo.) has introduced a measure in the House condemning Obama’s decision on DOMA and demanding that the Department of Justice defend the law “in all instances.” The measure has 98 co-sponsors. “President Obama’s decision to order his Justice Department to stop defending DOMA is not a surprise but it is disappointing,” Hartzler said in a statement earlier this month. “Once we start going down the road of selectively enforcing our laws we are headed for chaos. President Obama took an oath to uphold the laws of the United States and he is breaking his word to the American people.”
