Good news: Marriage amendment defeated in the Senate

This morning, the Senate defeated the Federal Marriage Amendment by a 49-48 cloture vote. [Read story.]

The bad news: 49 senators voted in favor of discrimination.

The good news: They failed to get the 60 votes needed to end the debate and move to a vote on the actual amendment.

Anyway, now that this vote is behind us, maybe they will stop wasting our tax dollars on ridiculous non-issues like this one and move on to something important.

[See how your senators voted.]
