Brody's Notes... Former New Jersey Judge Says President Did Taxpayers A Favor On DOMA Decision

By Mark Singer (Washington DC) FEB 24 | Former New Jersey Superior Court Judge and now conservative legal commentator and analyst for FOX News, Andrew Napolitano, said that yesterday's decision by the Obama administration to stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act in the pending court actions was doing the taxpayers a "favor."

“The government is actually doing the taxpayers a favor and doing the courts a favor and doing the voters a favor by saying, ‘We can’t defend it any longer,’” Napolitano said.

Judge Napolitano pointed out that since DOMA has already been declared unconstitutional by at least one federal judge, yesterday's decision by the president ordering the Justice Department not to defend the law effectively renders it non-existent during the remaining term of the Obama Administration, unless angered conservatives in Congress propose either an alternative or mount an attempt to defend the law.
