Too Much for Ellmers!
2011-10-08 - by
How bad can the constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages be if it’s too much for Renee Ellmers?
According to Under the Dome, the congresswoman’s spokesman “confirmed that she planned to vote against the constitutional ban that was adopted by the legislature in September because it is too broadly drawn.”
It would ban civil unions, he said.
Which raises a question: If the amendment bans civil unions, what else does it do that we haven’t thought about?
What about North Carolina-based companies that provide benefits for same-sex partners? Will they be unconstitutional? Can somebody sue to stop them?
How many jobs will that cost?
