The Washington Post reported today 39 GOP leaders (37 Congressmen and 2 Senators) have joined the crazy haters in their attempt to force DC to vote on same sex marriage rights. They have filed an amicus brief supporting a public vote on the issue. A vote has never gone our way thus far, so I hope this doesn't happen.
The article quotes DC Council member Mary Cheh, a constitutional law professor at George Washington University, as saying she thinks the group could win in court. Let's hope she is wrong.
As fun as it is to revel in 'wins' like DC's recent adoption of marriage equality, it seems we must always be looking over our shoulders for situations like this one. I would prefer to see our money/time/efforts being spent on Federal marriage equality rather than in individual states (or districts).
