House Eyes Gay Marriage Issue

The Hill reports that members of the House of Representatives aren't letting the Senate's failure to move a Constitutional Amendment on marriage block stop them from acting. Next week, the House is scheduled to hear Rep. John Hostettler’s (R-IN) "jurisdiction stripping" bill which would prohibit "federal courts from hearing lawsuits related to gay sex and marriage." Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) also plans to use "jurisdiction stripping" to prohibit federal courts "from hearing lawsuits related to the words 'under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance." Abortion is probably next. How your senator voted.
