Senate to Tackle Gay Marriage Ban By LAURIE KELLMAN, AP

Saw this in the post today, such a waste of time. There is no reason this should even brought up for discussion. Very transparent pandering to the religious right. I'm pretty consistently against these sweeping Federal mandates on issues that should be decided state to state. Personally I could careless one way or another on the actual issue it doesn't effect me in the slightest. On another level with the Defense of Marriage Act already in place this exercise seems very redundant as Sen. Joe Biden has pointed out. After reading through the act I agree with him, that Act covers everything this amendment is supposed to accomplish. With so many other issues that require discussion, going over covered ground is something I find irksome. A constitutional amendment of exclusion just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
