| Senator's Comments: |
?Well, if there ever was a quintessential state issue, it?s marriage. That?s been the tradition in this nation, and states have defined their marriage laws and ?they?re carried out under state law. And I think that?s appropriate. I don?t find a necessity for a Constitutional amendment on marriage, and I was really rather surprised that that was stuck in there.? CNN with Wolf Blitzer, January 21, 2004.
