Will the theocons please stop?

The movement to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman has failed once again as the Senate failed to reach even a 51-vote majority in favor of it.

Sen. Judd Gregg, R-NH, put it best:

Gregg said that in 2004, he believed a Massachusetts Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage in that state would undermine the authority of other states, like his, to prohibit such unions.

"Fortunately, such legal pandemonium has not ensued," Gregg said. "The past two years have shown that federalism, not more federal laws, is a viable and preferable approach."

Good. Theirs is a pathetic and losing effort. The faster the theocons drop this issue, the better off the Republican party will be.
