Here's why the Republicans are losing their minds...
They think they should alter The Constitution to prohibit gay marriages. Not just create a law. Not just issue a strongly worded statement. They want to add an amendment so judges won't have the leeway to interpret the Constitution differently. They don't want the states or their legislators or (God forbid) individuals to be able to determine the legitimacy of gay unions. So if the Republicans can manipulate the Constitution to ban gay marriage, the Democrats could manipulate the Constitution to ban anything. And since when do we use the Constitution to ban things, anyway? I thought we learned something from Prohibition.
No matter where you stand on the issue of gay marriage, I respect your opinion. And I respect the right for you to teach your children what you believe without interference from the government, the church, your child's teacher, whoever. This is how morality should be done. In the home. Because as soon as we let legislators define marriage, they are going to try to define other areas of morality for us. If you think I'm wrong, check out what Hilary thinks about who knows what's best for Americans.
The funniest part is that congressmen are operating under the assumption that they are on some moral higher ground than the rest of us. Even as the FBI are raiding their cash-filled refrigerators. Even as Dennis Hastert is screaming his head off over the sanctity of the Congressional office. Apparently his office has a few more rights and privileges than American bedrooms.
