U.S. Senate Committee Okays Constitutional Ban on Gay Marriage
Amendment would need House hearing to advance
A Senate committee has reignited the debate over gay marriage, endorsing a constitutional amendment to ban the practice. State law already prohibits same-sex marriage, but supporters of the amendment make the same argument as proponents of the property tax circuit-breaker amendment approved earlier this week: without being enshrined in the constitution, the courts could end up overturning the law. The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 6-4 along party lines to recommend the amendment to the full Senate, which could vote on it next week.
