''As much as I dislike [the Defense of Marriage Act] -- I led the fight against it -- I don't think that it's appropriate to say that the President should pick and choose what laws he defends. On the other hand, I do think this argument, that it is unconstitutional for the Federal government to pick and choose as to which marriages it will accept, is a good one. At some point, that's gonna have to go before the United States Supreme Court. I wouldn't want to go to the Supreme Court now because that homophobe Antonin Scalia's got too many votes on his Court.''
