John Boehner Blew Through $500K Defending DOMA, Gives Himself Million More

"Y'all found out about that, huh?"

Even though the majority of Americans and the President of the United State have zero interest in defending the already-declared unconstitutional law, John Boehner has tripled the amount of taxpayer money allocated to defending the Defense of Marriage Act.

The statement below from Nancy Pelosi’s office sums the outrageousness of it all up quite nicely, don’t you think?

“It is absolutely unconscionable that Speaker Boehner is tripling the cost for his legal boondoggle to defend the indefensible Defense of Marriage Act,” Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, said in a statement.

“At a time when Americans are hurting and job creation should be the top priority, it just shows how out of touch House Republicans have become that they would spend up to $1.5 million dollars to defend discrimination in our country,” Hammill continued.

Jerk.
