I can't help but feel it's a form of legislative prostitution... If an amendment can't stand on its own, then it shouldn't be at all... right or wrong, for it or against it... we rule by majority, not finess' and manipulation, this so called "hate amendment" is a railroad job... and why our gov't system is waining. Shame on you who see this as a major victory, it's a sham. ...
