15. It's very clear what is being protected. |

What backers of this stupid amendment won't say outright is what they're really trying to protect.
It's the special status and priviledges accorded to certain couples. That's what is being protected or defended or whatever.
And heaven knows their base has a large number of downtrodden people who got the inane idea that they need the government to tell them they're somehow special and elite in some way.
When times are tough, and they have been, this refusal to share benefits is just as endearing as granting new benefits. For lawmakers, it's cheaper too.
