Federal Government Appeals Cases That Invalidated DOMA

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
Reuters reports that the Justice Department yesterday filed notices of appeal in two companion rulings by a Massachusetts federal court that held the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional. (See prior posting.) Even though President Obama opposes DOMA, the Justice Department says it "is defending the statute, as it traditionally does when acts of Congress are challenged." Bay Windows points out that the notices of appeal were filed on the last possible day for doing so.
