A Better Marriage Amendment

So the constitutional amendment defining marriage as marriage didn't get through a cloture vote yesterday. This is, of course, no surprise, though major news outlets describe it as a huge defeat for President Chimpy and his Fascist cronies.

Time will tell whether the amendment will prove helpful to conservatives in November, or will ever pass the Senate, let alone be adopted by the states, or will even prove necessary after the Defense of Marriage Act and multiple state initiatives defining marriage as marriage.

But in the meantime, the Essential Christian Conservative Satirist Scott Ott (we begrudgingly bestow this title on him, as we deem even ourselves unworthy in light of his longstanding consistency as a sarcastic blogger) has posted a response that deserves to be filed for future reference by homileticians, ethicists, solemnizers of weddings, and thoughtful married and would-be married people.

Excerpting it would diminish it. Follow the link, if you know what's good for you.
