ADF vows to continue fight against attempts of judges to radically redefine marriage at state and federal level
BOSTON — A federal judge granted summary judgment Thursday to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in a decision against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which declares the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional. Judge Joseph L. Tauro of the Massachusetts District Court issued a ruling denying a USDHHS motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought on by the state, proclaiming that the federal DOMA, which defines marriage as one man and one woman, violates the 5th and 10th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
