Constitutional Amendment to Ban Gay Marriage Defeated

The United States Senate voted today on the Constitutional Amendment to Ban Gay Marriage. The final vote was 50-48, 10 votes shy of the 60 needed to keep the bill alive. Supporters of the amendment insist that the move to ban gay marriage is not dead, and it remains one of the most contentious political issues of the election season. Joining Larry is Alfred Balitzer, Professor of Government and Senior Research Fellow at Claremont Graduate University, and David Menefee-Libey, Professor of Politics at Pomona College.
