Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist announced last week that he plans on scheduling a vote on a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage the week of June 5. (Just in time for Gay Pride Month!) The amendment has just about zero chance of becoming law (it needs 67 votes, it only received 48 votes last time). Frist is retiring from the Senate a few months later (to run for President---ha!), he has decided to go out with a homophobic, otiose gesture. I guess he's not running as "uniter, not a divider."
