Santorum did good too, but his was short. I give top marks to those who will push for a Federal Amendment and he has said he would do that. Walker too. When I am less tired I will reread all of their comments.

Protective legislation is worth a try, but we are not going to write legislation that will protect religious freedoms more than the First Amendment. If Amendment 1 of the Constitution is failing us, what will mere laws do for us? They will be about as good as the federal DOMA and the state amendments and laws. The judges can still oveturn them or render them meaningless.

Excellent analysis. That's why we are doomed to totalitarianism, a word the American people can't spell but will in time learn its dimensions.
