lauraanne_gilmanas part of a larger discussion, this just tickled my irritated-at-hypocrites bone.
Senate Republican Caucus Chairman Jeff Miller, the sponsor of Tennessee’s Marriage Protection act, is facing divorce because of his alleged relationship with a Senate aide, his wife said.
Miller (R-Cleveland) has been the chief sponsor of the Marriage Protection Amendment, which passed the Senate in February mere days prior to the divorce filing.
Sen. Miller didn’t return calls to his legislative office Thursday afternoon but issued the following statement:
“My wife and I are in the process of getting a divorce. Divorce is a very difficult time for everyone. It is a very private matter, which is played out in public proceedings. Our chief concern right now is the best interest of our children,” the statement said. ... “It became apparent over the last week or so that we have irreconcilable differences which we have been unable to resolve.”
The Marriage Protection Amendment, which passed the Senate floor Feb. 23, would place a ban on gay marriage in the state constitution. The amendment, which says marriage should be defined as between “one man and one woman,” will go before the voters in a November referendum next year
Uh-huh. He gets to have a "private matter," but he feels like he has the right to make our respective marriage choices into a public matter.
To quote the wise ones of Bloom County: *ppbbbbtttthhhht*
