| Federal DOMA in 1996: |
This senator voted against the federal DOMA in 1996 but against the Marriage Protection Amendment in 2004 and 2006. |
| Senator's Comments: |
?In fact, states and local governments across the country are already dealing with this issue in their own ways. Some have enacted domestic partnership laws. In others, mayors and governors have issued executive orders for public employers. They don?t need help from Congress to address the subject. And federal law, which has never recognized same-sex marriages, hardly needs clarification at this suspicious moment.? Congressional Press Release, September 10, 1996.
