The "Defense of Marriage Act" is one example of an unconstitutional law as it respects an establishment of religion, which is expressly forbidden by the First Amendment to the Constitution. Whether it is an establishment of one religion or a thousand it is still an establishment of religion. While the Obama administration has decided to stop defending the legislation the Republican majority in the House of Representatives is pushing for a federally mandated definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman.

This type of power grab by congressional politicians needs to stop now. Congress has repeatedly exceeded its constitutional authority with items in the USA PATRIOT Act and other legislation eroding our constitutional rights. If they are not stopped our freedoms will be slowly eroded until we have none left.
