About a month ago, Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) introduced HJR 89, the Marriage Protection Amendment, to the U.S. House to define what people used to understand and take for granted: that marriage is between a man and a woman.
A Federal Marriage Amendment is of paramount importance given the recent decision by the California Supreme Court to throw out that state's Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) because the state constitution didn't specifically define marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Currently, there is a federal DOMA which ostensibly prevents the concept of homosexual "marriage" from being imposed on other states when one state allows it. However, what happened to California's DOMA can happen to the federal DOMA if the U.S. Supreme Court decides to bank Left and abandon law and reason.
And even though many states have constitutional amendments protecting marriage, those states would be foolish to believe those state constitutions would survive the hammer of a Leftist U.S. Supreme Court that might simply declare their constitution unconstitutional.
OneNewsNow says that yesterday Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS) introduced the Marriage Protection Act in the U.S. Senate as a companion to the House bill.
"Rather than giving unelected judges the opportunity to legislate from the bench, this amendment will reaffirm what most Americans believe ... marriage is between a man and a woman," Wicker says.
Pro-family people simply must quit playing defensive; you don't win by playing defensively, and if that's all you do, you usually lose in the end. Pro-family people need to get out in front of this issue and proactively defend against the usurpation of tradition, law and nature itself.

I am very happy to see this and think that this year there is a greater chance of this passing. People finally realize that this has to be taken care of at the federal level.
