For one thing, John Kerry wouldn't vote for a Constitutional Amendment DENYING people basic freedoms and rights...nor would John Edwards, IMO...

That's what this "Red Herring Amendment" would do...and the "wedge-issue" impact is why Dub's coming out for it...he's neither a uniter nor a divider...

Dub's a DESTROYER! :grr:

If this is the best they can come up with, it just serves to highlight all of their failures...a point we should WASTE NO TIME in capitalizing upon!

I would vote against it WITHOUT hesitation were I in the Senate--and even for more moderate Dems and Repubs it's an easy call...they can just say it's superflous, citing the "Defense of Marriage Act" of 1996. The rest of us could just say it's just plain wrong, like Prohibition before it...

They can also ask Dub why he couldn't come up with a Constitutional Amendment that would be FOR something positive...a balanced Federal budget, for instance? :eyes:
