Without getting into the merits of FMA, I don’t understand why people get so upset about the Senate holding votes for legislation that won’t pass. Should only legislation that is guaranteed passage be brought to the floor? Whether you are for against the Federal Marriage Amendment, is it so terrible that the public know where politicians stand during an election year? I just don’t get it.

Correction Woops, I meant Federal Marriage Amendment, not DOMA. The text has been changed to reflect that.
