Obama officials say one of the provisions in Obamacare, insurance coverage for long-term care, is too costly and will have to undergo some changes. Since Congress passed it, you would think it would have to go back through Congress for changes. Not so according to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. She says the law "gives her authority to make changes to the program without congressional action."
That, coupled with Obama's judicial decision last week that the Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional so his Justice Department just won't enforce it anymore, gives rise to the question: When did we become a dictatorship?

The "Defense of Marriage act" is unconstitutional. Last time I checked, Marriage is a religious institution. Passing a law for or against marriage goes directly against the first amendment to the Constitutions intent. Which is "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
The Government needs to stop legislating Morals.
You are wrong on several points.
1) The Defense of Marriage Act has not been declared unconstitional.
2) Marriage is a legal contract -- that's why you have to get a license and you have to go to court to dissolve one. They don't ask you what religion you are when you do that.
3) Congress did not pass a law for or against marriage. It said that one state does not have to recognize a same sex union recognized by another state.
4) If the government stoI don't think you really want the government to stop "legislating morals." If it does, then stealing is OK, murder is OK, and fraud is OK.
