Senate committee approves gay marriage ban
Feingold storms out of meeting, Specter says, ‘good riddance’
Updated: 12:13 p.m. ET May 18, 2006
WASHINGTON - A Senate committee approved a constitutional amendment
banning same-sex marriage Thursday, after a shouting match that ended
when one Democrat strode out and the Republican chairman bid him “good
riddance.”
“I don’t need to be lectured by you. You are no more a protector of the
Constitution than am I,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter,
R-Pa., shouted after Sen. Russ Feingold declared his opposition to the
amendment, his affinity for the Constitution and his intention to leave
the meeting.
“If you want to leave, good riddance,” Specter finished.
“I’ve enjoyed your lecture, too, Mr. Chairman,” replied Feingold,
D-Wis., who is considering a run for president in 2008. “See ya.”
Passage seen as unlikely
Amid increasing partisan tension over President Bush’s judicial nominees
and domestic wiretapping, the panel voted along party lines to send the
constitutional amendment — which would prohibit states from recognizing
same-sex marriages — to the full Senate, where it stands little chance
of passing.
Democrats complained that bringing up the amendment is a purely
political move designed to appeal to the GOP’s conservative base in this
year of midterm elections. Under the domed ceiling of the ornate and
historic President’s Room off the Senate floor, senators voted 10-8 to
send the measure forward.
Among Feingold’s objections was Specter’s decision to hold the vote in
the President’s Room, where access by the general public is restricted,
instead of in the panel’s usual home in the Dirksen Senate Office
Building.
Specter later said he would have been willing to hold the session in the
usual room had he thought doing so would change votes.
Not all those who voted “yes” support the amendment, however. Specter
said he is “totally opposed” to it, but felt it deserved a debate in the
Senate.
“Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man
and a woman,” reads the measure, which would require approval by
two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of the states.
“Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be
construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be
conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman,” it
says.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has scheduled a vote on the proposed
amendment the week of June 5.
Political hot potato
The issue has ignited a cultural and political debate over what
constitutes marriage and the legal rights of gay partners.
Earlier this week, Georgia announced it will appeal a judge’s ruling
that struck down its voter-approved ban on gay marriage. Gov. Sonny
Perdue said he will call a special legislative session if the state
Supreme Court doesn’t rule on the issue soon.
The Georgia constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage was
approved by 76 percent of the state’s voters in November 2004. On
Tuesday, however, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Constance C.
Russell ruled the measure violated the Georgia constitution’s
single-subject rules for ballot questions.
The issue has been on the political radar across the nation for more
than two years.
On Election Day in 2004, a presidential year, initiatives on gay
marriage and civil unions were on the ballot in 11 states, driven in
part by opposition to the Massachusetts state Supreme Judicial Court’s
recognition of same-sex marriage and Republican calculations that the
issue would send conservative voters to the polls.
Two states — Louisiana and Missouri — had approved bans earlier in the
year.

Just another stupid political ploy to turn out the fundy vote. At least
one senator had the sense to walk away from the *****.

Senate committee approves gay marriage ban Feingold storms out of
meeting, Specter says, ‘good riddance’
Updated: 12:13 p.m. ET May 18, 2006
WASHINGTON - A Senate committee approved a constitutional amendment
banning same-sex marriage Thursday, after a shouting match that ended
when one Democrat strode out and the Republican chairman bid him
“good riddance.”
“I don’t need to be lectured by you. You are no more a protector of
the Constitution than am I,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen
Specter, R-Pa., shouted after Sen. Russ Feingold declared his
opposition to the amendment, his affinity for the Constitution and
his intention to leave the meeting.
“If you want to leave, good riddance,” Specter finished.
“I’ve enjoyed your lecture, too, Mr. Chairman,” replied Feingold,
D-Wis., who is considering a run for president in 2008. “See ya.”
Passage seen as unlikely
Just another stupid political ploy to turn out the fundy vote. At
least one senator had the sense to walk away from the *****.
Feingold is such a weird critter. He seems to have something called
"principles." Which are some old fashioned things that were trendy once
in politics...
Yeah. Someone ought to clue him in. That kind of stuff is so last century.
How is going to make any money that way???
Really. I'll bet he never even had dinner, or went on an overseas golf
trip with Jack Abramoff. Poor guy. Somebody needs to show him the ropes.

I do hope the proposed Amendment gets out of committee.
That way, we can all be treated to the spectacle of it failing
miserably to get the 67 Senate votes necessary (along with a similar
2/3rds supermajority from the House) required to send it to the States
for ratification.
