arlen and the gay marriage ban

This reinforces the fact that I love Russ Feingold and hate Arlen Spector.

What can’t they let this amendment thing go???!?!?!?!?

From MSNBC.com
Senate committee approves gay marriage ban
Feingold storms out of meeting, Specter says, ‘good riddance’

WASHINGTON - — A Senate committee approved a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage Thursday, after a shouting match that ended when one Democrat strode out and the Republican chairman bid him “good riddance.”
“I don’t need to be lectured by you. You are no more a protector of the Constitution than am I,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa., shouted after Sen. Russ Feingold declared his opposition to the amendment, his affinity for the Constitution and his intention to leave the meeting.
“If you want to leave, good riddance,” Specter finished.
“I’ve enjoyed your lecture, too, Mr. Chairman,” replied Feingold, D-Wis., who is considering a run for president in 2008. “See ya.”
