This week, Republicans launched a push to make the House vote on measures they say Democrats have allowed to die in the legislative process. They want to do that by "discharging" bills from committees, bringing them directly to the floor for a vote.
Except for Delegate Tom Louisos, D-Fayette, the House's Democratic majority on Tuesday voted to postpone consideration of the Republican motion to discharge the marriage amendment.
Jeremy Dys and his wedge issue coalition aren't giving up, and are instead focusing on the Senate version of the bill. They're planning a so-called "Let Us Vote Rally" for noon on Thursday at the capitol.
