Idaho legislator says anti-gay state amendment is pointless

The political leader responsible for Idaho's law prohibiting gay marriage is advising state lawmakers to drop their attempt to put the ban in the state constitution. "Passing a constitutional amendment in Idaho would do absolutely nothing," U.S. Rep. Michael Simpson said. Simpson said the U.S. Supreme Court could just as easily override a state constitutional amendment as it could a state law, maintaining that policy on marriage rights has to be set at the federal level.
