Has anyone heard anything about this? They sure have kept it quiet! I found reference to it originally on a "christian homeschoolers" site (long story!) where they're "praying for it." It took me a while to track down the full story - here it is -

Marriage Amendment Passes Subcommittee, Moves to Judiciary Committee
Amelia Wigton
November 15, 2005

A proposed constitutional amendment to ban “gay” marriage passed a subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee on November 9 in a 5 to 4 vote.

Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) chaired the subcommittee hearing, which included debate by ranking Democrats and Republicans, including Sens. Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma), Ted Kennedy (D-Massachusetts), Russ Feingold (D-Wisconsin) and Dianne Feinstein (D-California).

The amendment will now move to the full Judiciary Committee for a debate and vote.
