ttorney General Eric Holder said Friday that the federal government will recognize about 300 same-sex marriages performed in Michigan before a federal appeals court halted them, despite a decision by Michigan's governor not to recognize those unions.
The decision means federal benefits will be extended to those couples -- including the ability to file taxes jointly, get Social Security benefits for spouses and request legal immigration status for partners.

Eric Holder is nothing more than a racist thug criminal.
"It is good to be the King!" (or the King's Prime Minister)
I live in Michigan i do not recognize the marriages of these idiots. What my vote against faggot marriages does not count. Holder is to uphold the US Constitution. See I do not recognize the marriages so I do matter for something. what benefits none will be granted.
That statement should scare the hell out of everybody! Yet most people still choose to sleep. God help us all!
Screw you and your little 10th Amendment!
