"The Senate dealt an election-year defeat Wednesday to a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, rejecting pleas from U.S. President George W. Bush and fellow conservatives that the measure was needed to safeguard an institution that has flourished for thousands of years." GlobeandMail.com
Is there anyone else out there who is terrified at the thought of a constitutional amendment that specifically takes away the rights of a specific population? Whether you agree or disagree on the issue of gay marriage, you have to admit that this would set a very dangerous precedent. I am thrilled to see that our senators are still capable of making their own decisions. Bush's crew doesn't have the strangle-hold they think they have.
