That's the section, of course, that defines marriage "for federal purposes as only between a man and a woman."

Mayor Tom, who more than likely will announce he's running for U.S. Senate in coming days, is no fan of the president's decision, writing: "Another mistake from Obama on DOMA. We need leaders in Washington to stand for the principle of marriage between one man and one woman." Whew -- for a second there, I thought he was referring to the Dallas Observer Music Awards.
