Last Stand

From Political Wire:
"The Senate Republican leadership is aiming for a mid-July vote on a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage, forcing Democrats to take a stand on the controversial topic just before the party heads to Boston for its presidential nominating convention,"

It is clear that the Federal Marriage Amendment will not pass with enough votes for discrimination to be written into the United States constitution, fortunately. The Republicans plan to put the Democrats "on the spot", but Kerry and Edwards have made their posistion quite clear and I think that the public will back them.
