Speaker 0: The world's going to Hades in a handbasket. We are desperately concerned about the circumstance relating to, avian flu. We don't have enough vaccines. We don't have enough police officers, and we're gonna debate the next 3 weeks, I'm told, gay marriage, a flag amendment, and god only knows what else. I can't believe the American people can't see through this.
We already have a law, the Defense of Marriage Act, where we've all voted, not or I voted and others said, look. Marriage between a man and a woman, and states must respect that. Nobody's violated that law. There's been no challenge to that law. Why do we need a constitutional amendment?
Marriage is between a man and a woman. What's the game going on
