Bigotry hits a brick wall

As expected, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted against the marriage amendment today, hopefully killing it for the rest of the year. Michelle Bachmann and her band of bigots have been stymied.

I especially like the part where she emphasizes that she is against civil unions too. "Civil unions fail to offer a civil compromise. Civil union is marriage by just another name." Keep on saying that, Michelle. Considering that the majority of people in this state do not want to ban civil unions by any stretch of the imagination, the more you say that, the shorter your political career will be.
