In this video clip from CSPAN’s “Washington Journal,” National Organization for Marriage’s Maggie Gallagher defends plans for the House of Representatives to take time away from balancing the budget and keeping the government operational to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court, while Brian Moulton, chief legislative counsel for Human Rights Campaign, defends President Obama’s decision NOT to defend DOMA in court.
Maggie Gallagher is the perfect example of someone who, when finding herself on the losing end of an argument, still cannot let it go. At that point, one does not argue because one has a reason or a valid point, rather one argues simply for the sake of perpetuating the argument.
