A Boston Tea Party ... (Gay Marriage)

Mike Liffrig has been running TV ads about Byron Dorgan voting against the constitutional amendment on gay marriage. While the issue is certainly valid, the Liffrig campaign needs to continue pressing the issue. Don't just stop with the one ad. What I would like to see him do is to continue to educate the public that Dorgan's vote was a cop-out vote. It was his way of having both sides of the issue. States like Massachusetts can allow gay marriage but Dorgan can say he is against it. The one big problem with this is that if a gay couple from Massachusetts decides to move to North Dakota, they are still married. Mike Liffrig needs to press hard on this issue, Dorgan is vulnerable on gay marriage. Dorgan also says we should not mess with the constitution. Well from what I can see, there are many many federal judges that do that everyday. The only way to stop them is with strict laws that provide no room for interpretation. A constitutional amendment is the best way I know to limit interpretation.
