the senate vote

A snip from Catholic exchange:

"The Senate's vote today has left the future of marriage in the hands of unelected judges, at least for the time being," said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. But, he added, the fight is not over. "Pro-family forces have benefited from the debate over the past few days in two ways: One, every time this issue is forced into the public square, the opposition to same-sex 'marriage' among the American public grows. Second, we now know which Senators are for traditional marriage and which ones are not, and by November, so will voters in every state."
