Sen Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) declares 'It's not Over' when it comes to a Ban on Gay Marriage

A constitutional amendment restoring the Defense of Marriage Act, to be introduced by Rep. Tim Huelskamp, likely would reignite the debate over same-sex marriage. 
The Kansas Republican said he plans to introduce the Federal Marriage Amendment to restore DOMA, which was struck down by the Supreme Court on Wednesday. 
The constitutional amendment would define marriage as between one man and one woman, as DOMA did. 
"This would trump the Supreme Court," he told The Huffington Post. 
[...]
Huelskamp announced his plan on Twitter late on Wednesday: "In response to these bad decisions, I plan to introduce the Federal Marriage Amendment to amend the U.S. Constitution." 
He had earlier tweeted: "Taking a combined view of both cases it is clear the Court was not restricted to logic or constitutional principles," and "In the end, these unelected judges have allowed the desires of adults to trump the needs of children." 
A constitutional amendment needs the support of two-thirds of the House and Senate, and ratification by three-fourths of the states.
