Sen. John Cornyn will hold hearings next month “to find out what steps, if any, are required to uphold the Defense of Marriage Act and the Congressional intent embodied in that measure. . . . Perhaps no legislative or constitutional response is required to reinforce the status quo. And if it is clear that no action is required, so be it. But I believe that we must take care to do whatever it takes to ensure that the principles defined in the Defense of Marriage Act remain the law of land.”
