Bill and Hillary Clinton issued a statement about Wednesday’s DOMA and Prop 8 rulings by the Supreme Court.
Today's decisions are a great step forward for #MarriageEquality. Grateful to all who fought tirelessly for this day. http://t.co/ibGcduTWvs

By overturning the Defense of Marriage Act, the Court recognized that discrimination towards any group holds us all back in our efforts to form a more perfect union. We are also encouraged that marriage equality may soon return to California. We applaud the hard work of the advocates who have fought so relentlessly for this day, and congratulate Edie Windsor on her historic victory.
Wait, what?

Something like the fact that DOMA was declared unconstitutional after Clinton signed it into law? Yeah, something like that. As we suggested earlier today, Bubba was hardest hit by the DOMA ruling. Evidently he’s “evolved,” but not everyone is willing to recognize his shiny new gay-lo.
Fixed it for you RT @billclinton Today's decisions are a great step forward. Grateful to all who fought tirelessly against my policies

Bill Clinton just issued statement hailing overturn of #DOMA–without mentioning he's the guy who made it law. #FullFlop

@billclinton really, you don't mind that they overturned your law

@billclinton Would have been easier if you had vetoed DOMA in the first place, sir.

@billclinton Wait, didn't you sign it in the first place?

Let's not forget you signed DOMA into law. #Hypocrite MT @billclinton: Today's decisions are a great step forward for #MarriageEquality.

Clinton didn’t take this Twitter user’s advice:
Dear Bill Clinton, I love you Man, but say nothing about DOMA today unless it involves the words "stupid, wrong, never should have done it."
