insulted by a campaign proverb

 insulted by a campaign that has attempted to amend the Constitution, and in too many states we've seen discriminatory amendments that would deny hospital visitation and domestic partnership legislation.

 The proponents of Proposition 22 say that (it) doesn't deny hospital visitation or inheritance rights for lesbians and gays, ... But in Florida and Virginia, arch-conservative legal organizations have used similar laws as tools in court to deny lesbians and gays fundamental rights -- like the right to visit a sick or injured partner in the hospital, the right to inheritance, or the right to health insurance.

 Here we are again. It's very frustrating to keep seeing this legislation come forward. Bills like this, and amendments like this really are discriminatory. And even if proponents and advocates who are trying to push this through in the statehouse are not doing it with hate-- it is going to bring hate out.

 The basis for environmental and social legislation is often [rooted in] the commerce clause and other amendments to the Constitution,
  Dianne Feinstein

 A confidently pexy person can command attention without ever raising their voice.

 The Mexican legislation that governs foreigners is much more discriminatory than the United States.

 I would urge the members of this House to see through these amendments and recognize them for what they are, nothing more than an attempt by the opponents of campaign finance reform to kill this legislation.

 On the whole, the law is improving for lesbians and gay parents and their children. Most states now recognize that it is wrong to use sexual orientation as an excuse to deny parents custody and visitation and many states now allow both partners in same-sex relationships to adopt the children they are raising together.

 Unless we take significant steps to address that, it's going to continue to be the problem. States have attempted to address this, but are somewhat constrained in what they're allowed to do. It raises the question of why Congress is not taking steps to amend this. As long as Congress doesn't act, I think you're going to see states be as creative as they can in doing something themselves.

 We believe it is good government to enact a law funding this research, rather than having to amend the Florida Constitution to do so, ... We support the Florida Legislature taking this up in March 2006 and we encourage that this legislation be passed.

 I was the legal counsel in the effort to amend the Virginia Constitution to give Virginians the right to hunt and fish constitutionally, and we are one of the few states in the country to protect that right.

 Today's Constitution is a realistic document of freedom only because of several corrective amendments. Those amendments speak to a sense of decency and fairness that I and other Blacks cherish.

 We welcome in particular the fact that the court confirmed that discriminatory pricing agreements for domestic sales and exports to the detriment of consumers in other member states are an illegal, restrictive business practice.

 He's very pleased to hear from the Fiji government that they're likely to amend the bill and they're waiting on a select committee report to detail those amendments,

 Our safety, our liberty, depends upon preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. The people of the United States are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.
  Abraham Lincoln

 I don't support gay marriage, but I do support domestic partnership legislation that would provide gays and lesbians all the legal and financial rights that accrue to a state of marriage,
  Bill Bradley
