Hate Fails!

The Senate voted against a cloture vote on the Federal Marriage Amendment by a count of 48-50. The two Senators not voting were Kerry and Edwards, which means this expression of hatred went down to a clear defeat. Kudos to everyone who called their Senators, and to the 6 Republicans (John McCain, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Lincoln Chafee, John Sununu, and Ben Nighthorse Campbell) who stood up to the right-wing nuts in their own party to vote against the measure.
