Common sense is breaking out. The two chambers futzed around with the amendment long enough until, oh darn, it just couldn't make the deadline, too bad. Looks like the smarter among the Republicans are recognizing a losing battle when they see it.

Meanwhile, the true believers are freaking out, of course:

Scared old men watching in befuddlement as power is slipping away from them, always great entertainment.

With this observation, you have perfectly encapsulated the inevitable death of the Tea Party.

Old women are just hugely supportive of gay marriage, right?

State Senator Mike Delph is not an old woman, as far as I know.

The opponents of marriage equality are pinning their last hope on Indiana ... they seem to think if they could just score one victory in Indiana they can halt the tsunami of same sex marriage triumphs across the land. Of course they are freaking out. They are beginning to realize their cause is lost. Here in Pennsylvania, the state supreme court is going to decide in June on the legislation restricting marriage to opposite couples only ... and it doesn't look good for opponents of marriage equality.

You said "men" plural. I just think blaming everything you perceive as being negative on men, whites, etc. isn't exactly fair or even a good strategy.
