[Vision2020] Attorney general to extend recognition of same-sex marriage rights to all states

[Scott Dredge]

The equal protection clause works.  As does Equal Liberty in the Due Process clause of the Fifth Amendment.

'The Due Process clause of the Fifth Amendment was relied upon by the Supreme Court to overturn section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, a provision that defined marriage as being only the legal union of one man and one woman for purposes of various federal statutes and regulations.'

    Like this law Roger?

    

    The Equal Protection Clause is located at the end of Section 1 of
      the Fourteenth Amendment:

    
      All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and
        subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United
        States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make
        or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or
        immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State
        deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due
        process of law; nor deny to any person within its
          jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

          He does not have that authority. His job is to enforce laws
            passed by congress.

             (CNN) --
                Attorney General Eric Holder says he is set to extend
                the federal government's recognition of same-sex
                marriages even in the 34 states that don't consider it
                legal. 
            

              
            CNN
                has obtained excerpts of a speech Holder will deliver at
                the Human Rights Campaign's New York City gala event
                Saturday night.
            

              
            Holder
                plans to announce that the Justice Department will issue
                a memo Monday that recognizes same-sex marriages "to the
                greatest extent possible under the law."
