President Obama’s position on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is “an impeachable offense,” according to Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain . Presidential candidate Herman Cain told attendees on the conference call that impeaching Obama would be "a great thing to do." Cain made the controversial remarks during an evening conference call last Tuesday with bloggers, during which he also admitted that any impeachment effort based upon Obama’s actions on DOMA will not “get off the ground” because Republicans do not control the U.S. Senate . The presidential candidate was referring to Obama’s  order earlier this year  to the Department of Justice not to defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage federally as a union between one man and one woman, in court. “The president is supposed to uphold the laws of this nation … and to tell the Department of Justice not to uphold the Defense of Marriage Act is a breach of his oath,” said Cain, who al

Earlier this month, a three-judge panel of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals had lifted a stay on a lower court’s order that requires the U.S. military to end enforcement immediately of the ban on homosexuals serving in the armed forces. District Judge Virginia Phillips ’ ruling, issued in October 2010, made illegal the U.S. enforcement of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy and 10 U.S.C. § 654, the 1993 law banning homosexuals from military service. The Associated Press reports that the federal appeals court agreed Friday to re-impose the stay on Phillip’s worldwide order they had lifted on July 6 – but with a provision tha

Cordileone said the flashpoint for this political takeover is marriage and that the actions of political elites should alarm both opponents and supporters of same-sex “ma

Image via Wikipedia Why does same-sex marriage make sense to so many people? The momentum toward the full legalization of same-sex marriage seems to intensify with every passing month — or even faster.  The moral divide is now seen most clearly in the distance between those for whom marriage is exclusively heterosexual and thus a settled issue and, on the other hand, those who honestly see the legalization of same-sex marriage as a moral mandate required by justice . Given the venerable status of marriage and its universally established heterosexual character — at least until very recently — the burden of argument falls on the need to explain how such a movement for a moral revolution gained credibility, cultural mass, and momentum.  How did this happen? A culture does not consist only of ideas and ideologies, but no culture exists without them. Given the complexity of any culture, a comprehensive map of these ideas, moral intuitions, and philosophies is impossible to create.  N
