Bill Clinton totally regrets that whole Defense of Marriage Act thing
Bill Clinton

In preparation for Hilary's 2016, Bill Clinton has started tying loose ends from his presidency that might be used as a talking point by her opponent.

Here's a one-sentence summary of Bill Clinton's latest editorial for the Washington Post: "Is it too late to take back the Defense of Marriage Act?" Clinton was responsible for signing DOMA into law in 1996, defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman — and now, he wishes he hadn't. Hey, nobody thought same-sex marriage was cool back then! It was "a very different time," when "only 81 of the 535 members of Congress" opposed the act. Clinton now believes DOMA is "incompatible with our Constitution" and that "the law is itself discriminatory," urging the Supreme Court to overtu it.

Do you think he really regrets it?
