Senate to begin debate Monday on marriage amendment

Senate leaders will start their debate on the proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex unions Monday afternoon.

But they didn’t want anyone to know about it.

According to the public notices released today, the Senate Judiciary 1 committee will be meeting Monday on H61, “Speaker/Pro Tem Term Limits” - a proposal to limit the numbers of years House and Senate members can serve as leaders of their chambers.

But a new version of the bill leaked to WRAL Friday night shows the bill the committee will take up Monday has absolutely nothing to do with term limits. The new H61 is an amended version of the constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

You can try to look it up at the legislature’s website, but you won’t find it there.

1. It irritates me no end when they lecture us about the voice of the people
and then pull stunts like this.

5. America, land of the free, land of equality, land of opportunity. What a bunch of
fucken bullshit. All apply "only" only to select groups, the right race, the right religion, the right sex, the right sexual orientation. The right, right, right.
