Rosie gets a little hysterical.

Rosie Takes Shot At Bush During Gay-Friendly Cruise

"It will be the first time, except for prohibition, that bigotry has been added to the Constitution"

Rosie seems to have been the last in line in a game of "post office". What she is trying to say is either this:

It proposes to use one of our nation's most revered documents as a tool of exclusion, amending the Constitution to restrict the rights of a group of Americans for the first time in history

or this:

Other than the alcohol prohibition amendment,which was later repealed, this would be the first time in history that the Constitution was amended so as to take away rights.

Like I said, I don't agree with amending the Constitution, but if people can't even spout the party line properly, they are probably better off keeping silent and letting others speak for them.

Actually, I am embarrassed to admit that I just read the amendment for the first time. I never bothered before becuase I was against it and I knew it wasn't going to pass anyway. Here it is:

"Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman."

"Neither this Constitution or the constitution of any state, nor state or federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups."
