Well I don't live in Idaho, but I was just sort of surprised that Republican legislators in one of the Reddest of Red states would join a Dem/Leftwing strategy of denying the people a chance to settle this matter permanently, or at least until the Supreme Court imposes gay marriage/civil unions nationwide. But until then, the only protection from state courts are state Amendments, and I just am befuddled that a measure that would probably pass with well over 65% of the people may be sunk by a few Republicans, joining Dems to gain the bare minimum needed to block the measure.
Its a damn shame, that 's all, that the will of the majority may be sunk by a guy putting up a completely lame and ridiculous reason about more important issues needing attention.
You are absolutely right and you articulate it very well.
