representative tim cules camp is far republican of kansas and in response to
the supreme court recent gay marriage rulings
in fact begin our drawings from yesterday
they're not wasting any time
they said that we have a brilliant idea
let's put doma
right back in place
don't of course of the defense of marriage act that's what the supreme
court found unconstitutional because the federal government can tell the states
haiti you guys decide it's at gay marriage of the state level well
we don't wanna accept it
so there
so the brilliant idea from your stamp is uh...
well the doma back in place now of course they can do that the legislation
sold you'll stand said
but he plans to introduce the federal marriage amendment
which is an amendment to the united states constitution
it's the almost the exact same wording is domo
but of course it is of higher
benchmark to get over it requires the support of two-thirds of the house and
senate and ratification by three-fourths of the states
or thirty eight states
in other words
you're not gonna get it
do there
let it go
thirteen states as of today
had the marriage
that means that by doing simple math
you realize
thirty seven states
don't have the marriage
and the number you need that too
signed on in order to get a constitutional amendment is thirty eight
that's not going to happen then
and for more
aloha brazen these guys are
oh equal protection under the law
treating uh... gay people the same is straight couples
uh... talk about for the constitution for the constitution we like is the new
amendment we're proposing that will ban gay marriage
and furthermore
fifty eight percent of the american people
or in favor
of the american apt
talk about
sticking up a middle finger to the majority of the american people
i mean these guys
they're stuck in uh... a previous are could you imagine after of the
interracial marriage case where
backup struck down
the republicans like no i will propose a constitutional amendment to a stop white
people in black people from marrying because i'm standing on principle
there's only about uh... seven thousand four hundred sixteen amendments that i
think would make more sense
then of then on the american
but for example the ninety one percent of the american people want background
checks
that would make a better constitutional amendment ninety percent of the american
people want wanna get money out of politics essentially river citizens
united but don't know republican is not interested actually doing things that
popular and that the american people want
they'd rather arshad difficult finger onto the majority and say we want a ban
uh...
gay marriage
not going to happen and let it go
