AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2004 Having the states individually decide what their stance on a major issue is and having it reflect itself in the laws doesn't really have a high success rate. I beg to differ. At the risk of using an extreme example--slave states and free states? Our future peoples would have to fight like hell to undo a constitutional amendment left behind by our short-sighted Republican leaders. Go fig. The amendment couldn't be passed without some Democrat support. They are. And I'm indifferent on the actual MARRIAGE issue. But civil unions should be allowed, simply for reasons of practicality. Agreed. This is coming from a rather conservative Republican, too. However, don't call it "marriage" and don't decide to say "to make up for past injustices" and give them additional rights or tax breaks over any heterosexual couples.
