Wisconsin Senator Walks Out in a Huff

As Senate Panel Approves Gay Marriage Ban

Here is Senator Feingold's statement about the incident.

My favorite part: The Constitution of the United States is an historic guarantee of individual freedom. It has served as a beacon of hope, an example to people around the world who yearn to be free and to live their lives without government interference in their most basic human decisions. I took an oath when I joined this body to support and defend the Constitution. I will continue to fight this mean-spirited, divisive, poorly drafted, and misguided amendment when it comes to the Senate floor.
