Gay marriage amendment fails in Senate

[heidi]

The constitutional amendment we're debating today strikes me as antithetical in every way to the core philosophy of Republicans. It usurps from the states a fundamental authority they have always possessed and imposes a federal remedy for a problem that most states do not believe confronts them.

McCain is my favorite Republican, hands down. My love for him continues to bloom and grow.

Word. I don't agree with him always, but I love that he actually thinks for himself, as compared to some other Republicans we know . . .
