Possible Vote Today on Marriage Amendment in Massachusetts

A vote which could potentially end efforts to amend Massachusetts' constitution to overturn that state's landmark marriage equality decision in Goodridge v. Department of Public Health, is scheduled during today's legislative session.  Supporters of marriage equality believe they are within one or two votes of blocking the amendment.

UPDATE: The anti-gay amendment has been defeated by a 45-151 vote.  Under the Massachusetts constitution, opponents of marriage equality needed 50 votes to advance the proposed amendment to the next stage of the process.
