Protect Marriage Illinois

Illinois’ DOMA law currently defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman.  But as we saw in Massachusetts, DOMA can be declared it unconstitutional.  In theory, an amendment to the constitution cannot be declared unconstitutional.

We should not wait until there is a fire before we install fire sprinklers. It is why we are being pro-active, seeking to establish marriage as a matter of constitutional law before activist judges strike DOMA down here in Illinois. Currently there are several different law suits in state and federal courts challenging DOMA as unconstitutional. It is safer to define marriage constitutionally and protect it in advance of activist judges who wish to illegitimately strike it down.
