| Senator's Comments: |
?As for the prospect of amending our Constitution, I believe that time has proven the strength of the governing principles of the Constitution, and that any proposed amendment to it must, therefore, be considered very carefully. Any amendment to the Constitution proposed in the heat of strong emotion must be examined all the more carefully to ensure that the sentiments of today do not lead to unanticipated and unwelcome consequences tomorrow. I will keep in mind all views should the Federal Marriage Amendment be brought before the full Senate.? -statement sent 6-18-04
