They did not indicate they were going to actively attack its constitutionality," Dale Schowengerdt, an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, told Baptist Press. ADF, a Christian legal group, has worked to defend the law . . . Technically, the Justice Department is involved only in lawsuits that challenge Section 3 of DOMA -- the section that prevents the federal government from recognizing gay "marriage." But the legal arguments the Justice Department is making easily could be applied to all of DOMA, including the section that protects states, Schowengerdt said. President Obama, meanwhile, is supporting a bill in Congress that would overturn all of DOMA. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/16/doj-actively-working-to-see-doma-overturned/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/16/law-professor-same-sex-marriage-wins-in-court-may-lead-to-public-backlash/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/05/16/law-professor-same-sex-marriage-wins-in-court-may-lead-to-public-backlash/#comments Wed, 16 May 2012 18:03:02 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=133834 Christian Post: Dale Schowengerdt, legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, told CP that backlashes occur "on every issue that the court has taken out of the public debate and constitutionalized unnecessarily."

It is, after all, the DOJ’s job to defend laws passed by Congress.

But that essentially gutted the measure. "The court ruled that the definitional part of the law, the part that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, was unconstitutional," he notes. "And so, yeah -- that really is an extraordinary opinion, and it's inconsistent with most courts that have looked at this issue. And so we think that it'll be upheld, if not at the First Circuit, at the Supreme Court." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/04/04/preserving-the-institution-of-marriage-one-news-now/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/14/dale-schowengerdt-on-the-zeb-bell-show-the-9th-circuit-prop-8-ruling/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/14/dale-schowengerdt-on-the-zeb-bell-show-the-9th-circuit-prop-8-ruling/#comments Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:03:11 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=125665 Dale Schowengerdt appeared on the Zeb Bell Show with guest host Sharon Hardy Mills to discuss the ruling. | MP3 audio 16:32 mins ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/14/dale-schowengerdt-on-the-zeb-bell-show-the-9th-circuit-prop-8-ruling/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/10/dale-schowengerdt-on-the-hugh-hewitt-show-could-the-presidential-election-affect-the-course-of-the-prop-8-litigation/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/10/dale-schowengerdt-on-the-hugh-hewitt-show-could-the-presidential-election-affect-the-course-of-the-prop-8-litigation/#comments Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:59:43 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=125376 Dale Schowengerdt appeared on the Hugh Hewitt Show to discuss the ruling. | MP3 audio 5:16 mins ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/10/dale-schowengerdt-on-the-hugh-hewitt-show-could-the-presidential-election-affect-the-course-of-the-prop-8-litigation/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/09/dale-schowengerdt-on-the-drew-mariani-show-the-9th-circuit-prop-8-ruling/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/09/dale-schowengerdt-on-the-drew-mariani-show-the-9th-circuit-prop-8-ruling/#comments Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:07:59 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=125182 Dale Schowengerdt appeared on several radio shows to discuss the Prop. 8 ruling. | The Drew Mariani Show - MP3 audio 11:40 mins | WSHO in New Orleans with Kathleen Benfield - MP3 audio 16:13 mins | The Victoria Taft Show - MP3 audio 7:56 mins ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/09/dale-schowengerdt-on-the-drew-mariani-show-the-9th-circuit-prop-8-ruling/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/09/narrow-ruling-court-strikes-down-prop-8-baptist-press/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2012/02/09/narrow-ruling-court-strikes-down-prop-8-baptist-press/#comments Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:13:12 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=125153 Baptist Press (includes video of Alan Sears): Alliance Defense Fund attorney Dale Schowengerdt said that while the decision's outcome was more narrow than Walker's, its reasoning in striking down Prop 8 was broad.
