Judge dismisses DOMA lawsuit on technicality

Christian Post: “A federal judge on Monday threw out a lawsuit filed against the Defense of Marriage Act, saying that the suit had been improperly filed in state court before it was transferred to his jurisdiction . . . Though the gay Southern California couple that filed the lawsuit last December will likely refile, Brian Raum, senior counsel for Alliance Defense Fund, hailed Monday’s ruling. ‘[W]e are pleased that this challenge to the federal law defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman has been dismissed,’ said Raum.”
