ebonlockSenate Scuttles Amendment Banning Same-Sex Marriage
The Senate voted today to block a White House-backed constitutional amendment to bar same-sex marriages, dooming its prospects for approval by Congress this year but ensuring it an emotionally-charged role during campaigns this fall.
The vote was 48-50 against bringing up the amendment -- 12 short of the 60 votes needed to limit debate and 19 short of the two-thirds majority that it would take to amend the Constitution.
A little closer than I would've liked to see, but it still puts a big old smile on my face.
