House Conservatives to Revive Effort for Constitutional Gay Marriage Ban
Ha! You guys are so funny!
House conservatives will seek to re-introduce a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage following the Supreme Court's decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act on Wednesday.
Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.) said he and other lawmakers would begin efforts to revive the Federal Marriage Amendment in the coming days.
"A narrow radical majority of the court has, in my opinion, substituted their personal views for the constitutional decisions of the American voters and their elected representatives," Huelskamp said at a conservative event sponsored by the Heritage Foundation.

OMFG. Seriously?
I guess it was inevitable, Republicans need a hill of their own to die on.
He must be the illegitimate son of Brownback.
I think this is a pretty pointless exercise.
