By our count - and the day is still young - four Democratic U.S. senators have flipped on gay marriage in the past few days. Senators Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., and Mark Begich, D-Alaska - have joined Senators Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., and Mark Warner, D-Va., in renouncing their previous opposition to gay marriage, just since Sunday.
They follow, of course, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio - still the only Republican senator to endorse gay marriage - to flip as the Supreme Court takes up the issue today and tomorrow.

Interesting wording of the headline.
A round of fudge for all of them......
It’s the new benchmark. If you are not for fag marriage you are a racist.
Montana Democrat Sen. Jon Tester joined the party too with a Facebook message.
“Montanans believe in the right to make a good life for their families. How they define a family should be their business and their business alone. I’m proud to support marriage equality because no one should be able to tell a Montanan or any American who they can love and who they can marry.”
Wow.
That's one thing I can commend McCain for...he hasn't buckled yet to his wife and daughter's opinion on the issue.
But then we have Cheney :(
They may not be the sharpest knives in the chandelier, but they recognize that the Party Has Spoken. Either fall in line, or it’s back to that sh*tty place you came from ... or worse.
That will go over like a lead balloon in West Virginia, a poll was recently done by Marshall University that said the state has actually bucked the nation trend and opposition to gay marriage has increased from 68% to 72% since 2009. Of course Rockefeller doesn't care, he's already announced he's not running so he can go as left as he wants and screw West Virginia.
Send them a shipment of KY Jelly and run like Hell!
All insanity esp considering this shouldn’t be a federal issue.
Last one out the door don’t look back - you could end up as a pillar of salt.
When one elects an immoral person, this is the result. There is not a politician who is moral in this country IMO. Damn them all.
Meanwhile, what business is it for the US Senate to be voicing any opinion on this issue anyway, it is a STATE ISSUE.
No one trying to tell anyone who they can love and who they can marry. They are the ones who are trying to tell us that they get to redefine marriage. Two completely different things.
Brokeback Montana.
"Marriage has historic, religious and moral content that
goes back to the beginning of time, and I think a marriage
is as a marriage has always been, between a man and a woman.”
~Hillary Clinton, December 1999
Hey MANLY Alaska.....THIS is the CRAP you get for not electing the Republican (can’t remember his name).
Would they want marriage if it did NOT include widow’s benefits under social security. What about spouse health insurance benifits? What about estate tax marriage benefit. Is this more financial that anyone wants to admit?
