Restarting public discussion

Michigan state representative Pam Byrnes, who is House Speaker Pro Tem, is introducing a bill to overturn the state's constitution amendment banning gay marriage. She is attempting the route of passage by 2/3 of both house and senate before going to the people for a simple majority vote. Her chance of success, given that the state senate is controlled by the GOP (heavily under the influence of Gary Glenn and the American Family Association), is close to zero. Glenn is even smugly saying it won't get a majority of the Dem controlled house -- if it comes to a vote at all. At least the issue is back in public discussion.
