Maryland Democrats concerned about the political fallout from last week's court ruling on same-sex marriage are considering a plan to block any final court ruling from taking effect until after the November elections.
The proposal would be offered in legislation by Del. Luiz R.S. Simmons (D-Montgomery) that would freeze any decision from the state's highest court until the General Assembly has time to evaluate it.
"What we're trying to do is see if we can craft a bill allowing the legislature to seek an injunction, at least until 2007, when we'll have the opportunity to consider a constitutional amendment" banning same-sex marriage, Simmons said.

Just being politicians. Show me a politician that relies on the strength of his convictions who doesn't live in a district which guarantees reelection.
What's to evaluate? Marriage - between one man and one woman.
They have no convictions, of course, and it is delightful to watch Mike Miller and the others wiggle and squirm on this issue. I think it would be ungracious of the Republicans to seek to impeach Judge Murdock. They ought to give her a medal!!!
As Rush says... RATS have to lie, lie, lie to the voters to stay in power. They can never be honest about their agenda.
Too funny! Even the dummie dems realize their "homosexual rights" issues are losers for them. It's tough to try to pander to a miniscule percentage of voters (homosexuals) while not alienating the vast majority.
So they are for it -- and against it?
During the 2004 election year, it seemed that court rulings in favor of same-sex marriage got a lot of air time, and we saw a high conservative voter turnout.
Is it me not catching the news at the right time or are the media and/or gay marriage proponents downplaying this ruling so as to not have a repeat (high conservative turnout) in 2006? I haven't seen jack-squat on the news and some of the comments in the article suggest they are downplaying things.....
They are against being accountable to the electorate for being for it.
I'd sure like to see a score board of where each of the 50 states are on this.
what is that brown soup running out of Simmons pant leg?
What are the dems trying to hide? That they love homo cowboys doin it and homos gettin hitched and screw marriage between a man and a woman. Demo freaks.
