Punishment sought for attorneys who abandon DOMA

A campaign launched by a California civil and religious rights organization shockingly reveals that when Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama decided the federal Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional, many Department of Justice attorneys began working against their own clients, the citizens of the United States.
That’s according to the Pacific Justice Institute, which today announced a campaign to collect signatures of citizens willing to be part of state bar association complaints against DOJ attorneys.
“Government lawyers are essentially rising from the table for counsel for the defendant, walking across the courtroom and sitting down at the plaintiff’s table,” said PJI chief counsel Kevin Snider. “These attorneys are now seeking to have judgment taken against the party that they represent – the United States.
Snider said what the DOJ has done would be “unthinkable for any other lawyers.”
Their actions raise “serious concerns that professional rules and ethics are being violated,” he said.
PJI plans to file complaints with various licensing agencies against the attorneys, whose names are listed online.
WND reached out to several of the attorneys cited and never was allowed beyond the office staff to even leave a message.
DOMA has become part of the collateral damage of Obama’s campaign to promote homosexuality, bisexuality, transexuality and other sexual lifestyles.
