Since these faith-based marriage amendments (see graphic) were never passed, Massachusetts has challenged the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Massachusetts was the first state in the nation to legalize gay marriage, has become the first to challenge the constitutionality of a federal law that defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman.
Massachusetts says Congress intruded into a matter that should be left to individual states.
Most Constitutional attorneys say DOMA will be ruled unconstitutional because their is no constitutional basis for the federal government regulating marriage.
John Yoo, the infamous 'go to guy' for the Bush Administration for legal opinions on torture and the
President's Surveillance Program, is expected to be one of the defense attorneys for DOMA.
