holzman_tweedRep. Lincoln Davis (D-TN) has criticized the marriage discrimination amendment for not going far enough to protect marriage:
We should also prevent those who commit adultery, or get a divorce, from running for office. Mr. Speaker, this House must lead by example. If we want those watching on CSPAN to actually believe we are serious about protecting marriage, then we should go after the other major threats to the institution. Not just the threat that homosexuals may some day be allowed to marry in a state other than Massachusetts. An elected official should certainly lead by example.
Banning the divorced and adulterers from office would present some problems for Republicans. For some Democrats too, perhaps, but remember how they had to scramble to come up with Denny Hastert when Larry Flynt was offering a bounty for info on adulterous congresscritters?
