Will Mandate Mania Be the Gay Marriage of 2010?

By: Jane Hamsher Sunday March 21, 2010 8:59 pm

There are already twenty state constitutional amendments moving through legislatures that could wind up on the ballot in 2010 or 2012. While Steny Hoyer may be confident that the courts will rule that federal law trumps that of states, that won’t affect the ability of Republicans to use the issue to spur voter turnout in 2010 — the same purpose served by anti-gay marriage ballot measures in 2004 and 2006.
