The AP is reporting that Tom Daschle opposes a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, under the headline "South Dakota political leaders split on gay marriage ban." Interestingly, last week, the AP reported Tom Daschle's incoherent position on a constitutional amendment prohibiting flag burning under the headline "Daschle: Flag amendment not necessary." Apparently, Daschle believes that a constitutional amendment prohibiting desecration of the flag would "interfere" with the First Amendment, but somehow a mere law prohibiting the desecration of the flag would not:
Sen. Tom Daschle says he would support a law prohibiting desecration of the American flag, but he doesn't think a constitutional amendment is needed to protect it....Daschle, a Democrat, told the group of mostly veterans he has two concerns: An amendment would interfere with freedom of speech allowed in the First Amendment, and desecration of the flag could be hard to define.
Huh?
