Good.
I want to see exactly where each (R) stands on this issue.
I believe the spur is the ACLU lawsuit filed in MD. Its a good backdrop towards re-orienting the fall campaign around the issues of values --- family and judicial activism. Precisely the areas where the Democrats are most vulnerable.
Homosexual Agenda Ping - This Should Be Interesting. Let's see who votes which way.
Considering the 18 RINO Senators who voted for the "hate crimes" abomination recently, I have little hope for anything good coming out of the Senate.
How I wish some real conservatives would win some Senate seats.
Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
Excellent piece of strategery.
Lets see now, the HRC. Methinks there is some prominent presidential wannabee with those initials. Pure coincidence?
"Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind., has written legislation to remove marriage from certain federal courts.
In a May statement explaining the bill, he said, "Simply put, if federal courts don't have jurisdiction over marriage issues, they can't hear them. And if they can't hear cases regarding marriage policy, they can't redefine this sacred institution and establish a national precedent for homosexual marriage."
I am VERY glad to see this. But, I wish he could
apply this legislation to State courts.

On behalf of every conservative Christian in RI (all three of us), I'd like to pre-apologize for how our congresscritters will be voting on this issue.
Yes, even Chafee *ptooie!* the f--king RINO.
IMHO, a constitutional is not the way to go, the best path is:
USC Article 3, Section 2, Clause 2
Why? because amendment is a looooong path to take, whereas a statute is passed as all other bill are with a simple majority.
I think both paths should be pursued.
This is a good start.
We need a lot more of these bills, as you have suggested, to rein in the Courts.
Keep your knickers on group - nothing meaningful will happen with this before the election. Just bringing it up seems a bit like a cat and a fur ball - expected & uneventful.
The 1%'rs and their allies....trying to destroy the U.S. of our founders...
moving us toward their masters global agenda...
Let's get them both on record voting against it.
That ought to go over well in NC, Mr. Edwards.
