The GOP-controlled Senate approved a proposal to amend Indiana's constitution to ban same-sex marriage, but the effort was expected to die in the Democrat-led House.
Sen. Brandt Hershman, the resolution's sponsor, said Senate passage would give House members a chance to act on the measure if they choose. But a key House committee chairman has said he won't give the issue a hearing.
The Senate voted 39-9 in favor of the resolution Tuesday, with supporters saying the issue should be left to voters, not courts.
Blind pandering aside, the fact of the matter is that this issue has been left to the courts, and the courts have affirmed existing Indiana law at every turn.
But good luck telling a room full of Republicans in an election year anything about "facts" when their annual wedge issue votes come up.
