Federal Gay Marriage Amendment Returns
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/03/031805fedAmend.htm

An amendment to the US constitution to ban same-sex marriage has been reintroduced in the House.

The measure was put forward by Rep. Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Calif.) only days after a judge in San Francisco declared that barring gay marriage violated the California state constitution. (story)

Lungren, a former state attorney general, called the ruling by Superior Court Judge Richard Kramer "astonishing" and said that the US constitution needs to be amended to prevent courts throughout the country from ruling on gay marriage.

"The courts aren't democratic institutions," he said.


Gee Dan, what was your first clue? They're not supposed to be you moron!

1. So, the judge says it's unconstitutional, and they think that it's
astonishing? They want to amend the constitution, because it doesn't CURRENTLY require discrimination - stupid fucks, may they all burn in hell.

2. Oh, why doesn't some alien come down, and abscond with..
Lungren.

(No actual threat was made here to anyone, Agent Mike.)
