Not so.<br /><br />Ron Paul was not a Member of Congress in 1996 when the Defense of Marriage Act was passed. He was not a cosponsor of it, nor did he vote for it.<br /><br />Bob Barr, however, was the principal sponsor of DOMA in 1996. He later repudiated the law when he was running for president as a Libertarian in 2008, and had previous to that election year testified against a Federal Marriage Amendment to the Constitution.Rick Sincerehttp://www.ricksincere.comnoreply@blogger.com
