Who Cheated and Voted for Defense of Marriage Act?

   Seven Republican members of Congress, one Democratic Congressman and one Democratic President supported DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act), which made marriage only between one man and one woman legal in the US. Who are they?
   Let's see, there was Republican Congressman Henry Hyde, who had an affair that broke up at least one family.

   Then of course, Republican Speaker of the House New Gingrich, married three times. Both marriages ended due to relationships he began during his marriages, including the one he is in now.

   Republican Bob Livingston, who resigned after news of his own extramarital affairs became public.

   Republican Congressman Bob Barr who began an affair with his third wife while married to his second, and then married her a month after the divorce.

   Republican Congressman  Dan Burton, admitted he had an extramarital affair in the 1980's and had fathered a child of his mistress.

   Republican Congresswoman Helen Chenoweth-Hage admitted to having an eight-year affair with a rancher in the 1980's.

   Democratic Congressman Gary Condit famously had an affair with former Bureau of Prisons intern Chandra Levy, who later went missing and was found dead.

   Republican Senator Pete Domenici, a former New Mexico Senator revealed that he fathered a child through an extramarital affair with another senator's daughter 30 years ago.

   And, of course, President Bill Clinton who signed the Bill into law. We all know that story. Clinton now wants it overturned by the Supreme Court.
