QUOTE OF THE WEEK

August 22, 2008

“As I mentioned to you all last night, and I reiterate here today — standing before you, looking you in the eye — the Defense of Marriage Act, insofar as it provided the federal government a club to club down the rights of law-abiding, American citizens, has been abused, misused and should be repealed.”

— Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr, sponsor of the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996
