Not when the public has already voted for another bill. By promoting a bill which does not preserve marriage for heterosexuals and permits homosexual marriage, the legislature is saying to voters, "You didn't vote the way we wanted, so we will ignore the bill for which you voted and pass the bill we wanted in the first place and hoped you would vote for.

I agree, but by removing accountability (making them all lame-ducks due to term limits), what do we expect?

The only accountability our legislators have is to the next vote. Remove that next vote, and a republic crumbles. Which is what we're seeing now.
