Bush's New Red Herring
An interesting and disturbing article on the marriage amendment. I'm not sure what the writer means by saying right-wing law makers may add other matters to this proposed amendment that will make it more than simply a matter of marriage definition between a man and a woman, but it doesn't surprise me.
