The Idaho Legislature’s first initiative of the year blasts same-sex marriage, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to let states once again regulate the relationship.

Reps. Todd Achilles (D-Boise) and Brooke Green (D-Boise) said they supported the resolution’s introduction in the hopes that Republicans would support introducing their legislation in the future — a strategy that’s had mixed results over the past several years.

    I know 0% about these politicians but from the way the article describes it, the Democrats support it coming up for a vote where I guess they hope it’ll be defeated and they can then vote against it. Seems unnecessarily risky, but maybe they’re hoping for their own John McCain thumbs down moment??
