Amending Marriage

The news that a judge has struck down Nebraska's new ban on homosexual marriage only underscores the need for the Federal Marriage Amendment. Critics of the FMA–mainly Democrats–have been repeating the mantra, "Let the states decide." Well, they've been trying to do just that, but judges keep getting in the way. Ratifying the FMA would allow voters in every state to participate, and keep the decision out of the hands of unelected judges.
