Massachusetts Sues Feds Under the 10th Amendment (#statesrights)

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts filed a lawsuit filed in federal court Wednesday challenging the federal Defense of Marriage Act’s (”DOMA’s”) definition of marriage as “only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife.”

Massachusetts, which legalized same-sex marriages in 2004, claims that the federal definition violates its authority under the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution to define marriage as it sees fit.

Damn right. #statesrights, baby.
