Vitter and Craig Back "Pro-Marriage" Amendement

Once again some Republicans are trying to amend our Constitution to discriminate against homosexuals.

S. J. RES. 43 was introduced June 25th by Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS). The bill aims to amend the Constitution to state that marriage "shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman.".

As we know an amendment needs to be ratified by 2/3rds of both Houses. Then it must be ratified by 3/4ths of state legislatures. Long story short, it isn't that easy to amend the Constitution. Numerous amendments are introduced in Congressional sessions and the vast majority are never actually voted on by Congress.

Only 33 in the history of the USA have gotten that 2/3rds in Congress to go to the states for ratification.

Enough with the history lesson. Let's get onto the issue here.

It seems that two of the eight co-sponsors of this bill are Larry Craig (R-ID) and David Vitter (R-LA)

The toe tapper and the man of high priced prostitutes.

Larry Craig was charged with attempting to solicit sex amongst other charges. He plead guilty. His attempts to have his plea reversed have all been denied.

Since the bathroom incident numerous gay men have come out and claimed to have had sexual encounters with Larry Craig.

"The 40-year-old man reported having oral sex with Craig at Washington's Union Station, probably in 2004."

So Craig may be one of those homosexuals that he wants to try and protect marriage from. Well...at the very least he may have engaged in homosexual sex.

David Vitter, father of four and a married man, was named in 2007 as a client of the DC Madam.

Some family man he is.

I just find it humerous that these two men, who are complete hypocrites, are championing a bill like this. Is this their attempt for forgiveness by the right-wing? Is this thier attempt to delude themselves that they are family men because they support legislation like this?

Who knows.

At least four other amendments like this died in Congress over the past few years, and with a Democratic controleld Congress, this is going to get no where.
