The judge , the police officer and the lawyers are also Muhammads <| sep |> Good point , but isn ' t that like having someone punch you in the face and then giving them credit for handing you an ice pack afterward ? It ' s a weird analogy I know , but look at what party signed DOMA into law . DOMA passed both houses of Congress by large , vetoproof majorities and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in September 1996 . By defining spouse and its related terms to signify a heterosexual couple in a recognized marriage . Not trying to get your dander up I promise ! I guess I just like to make people question our government . Always question your leaders , regardless of party . In fact everyone needs to be their own leader , but that ' s a whole different diatribe I could get into .
