@Drnaline,
I can see her argument that marriage and civil unions bearing little visible difference from marriage shouldn't be dealt with at the same time, but it's good that someone justly defied the Courts' supposed sovereignty. The people have spoken, and their will should be done -- especially in an amendment.
I've said it before and I will say it again though, I think this issue should be left to the individual churches' discretion and the state should respect the church's decision due to its freedom of religious practices.
