The U.S. Senate Wednesday, July 14th, rejected in a procedural vote a bid to change the Constitution to include a Federal Marriage Amendment, defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman. While the matter may be dead in the Senate, for now, the House is poised to take up the issue in approximately two weeks as it examines measures designed to make sure federal courts don’t order states to recognize same-sex unions sanctioned outside their borders.

For an interesting article on why, the Federal Marriage Amendment is completely unnecessary because of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, read this article by former House of Representatives Member Bob Barr.
