Co-Sponsor of Allard Amendment. Lott also expressed support for the president?s proposal, saying marriage is a public confirmation between a man and a woman. ?The Sun Herald (South Mississippi), February 25, 2004.
(In regards to the State of the Union address) ?I think he?s right when you say that marriage is between a man and a woman. He wants to try to find a way to work through this without going the Constitutional right ? route, but he indicated he was prepared to do that if that?s what had to be done to keep the judges from imposing their will on the will of the American people.? CNN with Wolf Blitzer, January 21, 2004.
?The Defense of Marriage Act will ensure that each State can reach its own decision about this extremely controversial matter: The legal status of same-sex unions.? (Congressional Record, September 10, 1996)
