..Bush for Constitutional Ban on Gay Marriage-Source
Rep. Bacchus (6), Aderholt (4), Everett (2), Rogers (3-my Rep), Sen Sessions, Sen Shelby -- All Co-Sponsors!!!!!
You want to prohibit gay marriages? Then the answer is to get rid of LOOOOOOONEY judges from the bench or keeping them from ever getting there. Because I guarantee you that no matter how ironclad a constitutional amendment looks, the looney judges will find a way around it. And do we really want to clutter up the Constitution with dopiness as a way to counter (without effect) LUNATIC judges.
But, hey, if supporting such an amendment makes you feel better, be my guest. Just remember this effort will go NOWHERE and even if somehow it passed the lunatics will just find another way around it.
Ralph is running for re-election as a Republican, after having been a Southern Democrat for decades. He now is counted as a Republican member of the House.
