Apparently, Pat Vaughn (pictured at left), an in-house attorney for the American Family Association ("AFA") - a registered anti-gay hate group - did not get the memo telling him that as a paid professional Christian he was exempt from the pesky restrictions of the Commandment against lying and bearing false witness. Why do I say this? Because Vaughn made a statement on AFA Report that basically supported Barack Obama and his Department of Justice's decision that Sec. 3 of DOMA is unconstitutional. Here are highlights from the Advocate and a clip from You Tube (To be added once Blogger ceases it's brain fart]:The American Family Association's in-house attorney says that while he and many members of his organization believe that marriage should be reserved only for heterosexual adults, the Defense of Marriage Act is "probably unconstitutional."
*Pat Vaughn appeared on the Tuesday edition of the AFA Report to talk about President Barack Obama's recent directive to the Department of Justice to stop defending the 15-year-old law barring federal recognition of state-sanctioned marriages or civil unions for same-sex couples.
*Vaughn replied, "I think that Newt Gingrich is an astute politician and he is playing this for all it's worth. I think that marriage is defined by God as between a man and a woman. However, the Defense of Marriage Act is probably unconstitutional, particularly ... if you attempt to apply it so that to say that a marriage conducted in one state is not in effect in another. That clearly violates the Constitution."
