Majority supports marriage equality?Republicans hire $520 an hour lawyer to fight it

On the same day that a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll shows that a majority of Americans support same-sex marriage, House Republicans have announced:

Leaders in the House have agreed to pay up to $520 an hour and up to $500,000 to a law firm retained to defend the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act after President Barack Obama instructed the Justice Department not to defend a key part of the law.

That's $520 an hour charged to you, the taxpayer.

And leading the charge?both for your money and the defense of discrimination?will be former George W. Bush shyster, Paul Clement.

Which leads to at least one job the Republicans have created since becoming the majority.
