Ryan T Anderson on The Blaze TV Talking About DOMA and the Supreme Court
Ryan T Anderson of the Heritage Foundation made a guest appearance on The Blaze TV to talk about the implications of the arguments made against the Defense of Marriage Act in front of the Supreme Court last week. Mr. Anderson breaks with the Libertarian ranks and argues on behalf of the constitutionality of DOMA at the behest of those same Libertarians on the panel who predictably called the legislation unconstitutional. What is particularly striking about the interview is the ease in which the fellow at the Heritage Foundation breaks down the arguments of the other panelists pointing out that the case involved could more easily be supported by anti-government types if they actually opposed the inheritance tax that is really the most unconstitutional aspect of the lawsuit presented in Unites States vs Windsor. Another great moment in this interview is when Mr. Anderson is asked about the general breakdown of marriage within the heterosexual community in which he responds by citing no fault divorce as the main culprit to that problem, and essentially destroying one of the key arguments made by gay activists. The video runs about 12-13 minutes, it's well worth the time...
