ive read that Hilary Clinton opposes gay marriage. i also read that she voted NO on constitutional ban of same-sex marriage.
does that mean that the decision of same sex marriage should be made by people or the states and that the decision shouldnt be made by the courts?
im really confused.
so i want to know since she voted NO on constitutional ban of same-sex marriage, what does that mean?

It means that she is willing to say no on the issue so that she can hopefully get the gay vote.

it rather is a lot much less demanding to effect 535 Congressmen interior the Congress of america than 36 million electorate in a state like California. Democracy isn't in all risk a pal to a perimeter group. Congress on the different hand could be intimidated with the aid of protest or bought with the aid of donations. So that is lots extra ideal from the fringe communities attitude to seek for national legislations than permit states have open votes.

Maybe she is pro-states' right. She wants the states to decide if they want gay marriage or not. Many people want the federal government to impose their will on states which I'm against becuase I'm a fiscal conservative. I think states should decide if they want to allow gay marriage, not the federal government. Clinton wanted to assure the right of the states because otherwise, that would mean federal government interfering in states' affairs. She opposes it and she voted against the consitutional ban to defend states' rights. The federal government can't impose their will on states. This is what Clinton meant.

The states are already in charge of this issue.
I'm assuming that this only means she has no intention of passing a definition of marriage amendment to the constitution if elected, since this is really the only thing she can do.
(It might also be an indication of how she'll decide when nominating supreme court justices.)

Simple, what she feel's personally is that she is against it, but a no vote on the contitutional ban was just that. She cant make a moral decision for anyone. It is called free will and the right to choose. And say what you want but anyone who stand's against her in a debate will be destroyed plain and simple.

It means she's doing her typical flip flopping. I'm serious, she can't commit. She has a huge number of gay friends so I find it hard to believe she'd vote against it.

Hillary will vote for whatever will get her elected. She is for gay rights when she talks to gays, but against it when talking to Christians.

Your right, she contradicted herself.
She is one mixed up lady, and she is a total hypocrite.
She is dumb enough to keep a husband after he cheated with a news reporter...dumb!
Do me one favor and dont vote for her in 08

Hillary will say anything to get elected to be the next president.
She changes her view with what is popular with the voters.
