A Modest Proposal; or, One for the Playbook

OK, so here's what I think the Dems should do on this gay marriage amendment, and the attempts to place the Defense of Marriage Act outside normal judicial review. Let's beat them at their own game. Add a couple of amendments to the legislation. Say, "you're really serious about defending the instiution of marriage? How could you say no to this?"


Let's see the American public get behind that.

Oh, but how about the other parts, like a man not marrying his brother's widow. Shouldn't we do something about that?
