Journal Sentinel headline on its editorial on the gay marriage/civil unions amendment:

Overly broad, dangerous, unfair and simply unnecessary

-------
Zien supports a state constitutional amendment on November’s ballot that defines marriage as between a man and a woman. The measure twice was approved by the Senate judiciary committee, which Zien leads.

“At our committee, lawyers testified that in Wisconsin state statutes are so vague that a person could marry an animal and if it were to be challenged in court, attorneys could determine that,” Zien said on WEAU.

Kreitlow was incredulous.

“I can’t wait to see which lawyer’s going to want to take the case of trying to say in Wisconsin you can marry an animal,” he replied sarcastically.

Around our house we longer reference the Defense of Marraige amendment. It is now, with apologies to Bach, the Sheep May Safely Graze amendment. Sen Zien is voting Yes. For the lambs.
