Pelosi responds to Bachmann’s DOMA comments: ‘Who cares?’

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had a two-word response on Wednesday to Rep. Michele Bachmann’s (R-MN) assertion that the Supreme Court tried to “undo what a holy God has instituted” by striking down the federal same sex marriage ban: “Who cares?”

In a Capitol Hill press conference following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California’s Proposition 8, Pelosi declared that “justice was done for thousands of LGBT families nationwide.”

“This ruling will only make us work harder in the courts, in the state legislatures, everywhere to ensure that all men and women in every part of our country are granted equal rights no matter who they love,” the Minority Leader said.
