The Anti-Sam Brownback Blog

From the AP:

A conservative push to ban gay marriage through a constitutional amendment gained renewed momentum Wednesday after a Senate panel led by Kansas Republican Sam Brownback narrowly approved the measure.

In a 5-4 vote along party lines, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., cast the deciding vote allowing the amendment to pass to the full Judiciary Committee and a likely vote in the Senate next year. Specter said he opposes the amendment but feels it shouldn’t “be bottled up” in committee.

The measure would need to be approved by two-thirds of those voting in the House and Senate and then be ratified by at least 38 state legislatures.

I haven’t sat down and run the numbers yet, but I can’t imagine it will have the votes in either chamber. This is yet another stunt by Senator Brownback, the republican Senator running for president with a theme of hatred and intolerance.
