Eric Holder ignores Gov. Gary Herbert decision, will recognize same-sex marriages in Utah

eric-holder1The Obama regime, and Eric Holder loved the Supreme Court when traitor John Roberts upheld ObamaCARE as a ‘tax.’ Now, despite their ruling on same sex marriage in Utah, the Obama regime (via Eric Holder) is recognizing same-sex marriages in Utah.

Fox News:

Attorney General Eric Holder said Friday the federal government will recognize more than 1,000 same-sex marriages in Utah, despite an earlier announcement this week from the state’s governor saying the state would not.

The decision means those Utah couples will have access to federal benefits that are available to married couples in other states, including the ability to file joint tax returns. It also adds to the confusion in the state following a surprise ruling last month against the state’s same-sex marriage ban.

Hundreds of gay couples got married before another court put those weddings on hold. The Justice Department statement marked the first time the Obama administration formally weighed in on the debate with any action.
