Lee Reacts to Supreme Court Decision on DOMA

Jun 26, 2013

I believe marriage is properly defined as between one man and one woman. I hope the Court will respect its own decision and the constitutional rights of Utahns and citizens of every state to legislate in their own States according to their beliefs and values.

General Statement for the Record-NDAA Mark-Up

Jun 17, 2013
