Marriage Pandering

The latest push for a federal marriage amendment is being met with increasing skepticism on the right.

I cannot escape the sense that the President and the Senate are pandering on this issue. The base is upset — albeit over other, larger issues — but this is, as the critics say, good old “red meat.” The federal marriage amendment may be fine legislation, but ignoring the big stuff for a small, politically easy bone is not impressive.
