In Indiana: Elections committee advances HJR-3 to full House


Yesterday, the Indiana House Elections and Apportionment Committee moved the hateful HJR-3 forward to the House. Quick note, HJR-3 is a constitutional ban on gay marriage.

This bill was advanced due to a dick move by House Speaker Brian Bosma. He reassigned the amendment and a companion bill to the elections committee, claiming he was responding to the wishes of his caucus. However, it's not in the clear yet. This bill has to pass two General Assemblies and be approved by the public in order to be added in the state's Constitution... That could be found unconstitutional possibly?

So, was this move really necessary?

More to come.
