Marraige Amendment Getting Hung Up in Senate?
GOOD GRIEF! Is there defective ventilation in the SD Senate Chamber? Is the water system contaminated? Too much time after hours in Ft. Pierre bars? Why can't these guys get ANYTHING straight without a lot of chop-logic hair splitting going on.
What don't these characters understand about marriage and the family (i.e. parents, kids, relatives) as the foundational underpinning of any civilized society. This is not exactly a secret, at least to the overwhelming majority of South Dakotans who have been polled as supporting this. I mean, they are not being elected from Berkeley, CA the last time I looked.
ALSO, this is NOT to amend the constitution - it is just to allow the voters the chance to amend the constitution. What a shocking idea! This is virtually the same situation as the libDems in the Senate refusing to allow an up-or down-vote on judicial appointments. By the way, it's the state of the judiciary, and their fast and loose application of creative interpretation of the Constitution that makes AMENDMENTS like this a necessity.
Perhaps they need to contemplate this Proclamation on the Family from the LDS church to perhaps get at least something figured out about this that they have apparently overlooked or forgotten.
