Marriage amendment retooled

From the Washington Post: The congressional sponsors of the proposed "marriage amendment," Sen. Wayne Allard (R-Colo.) and Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-Colo.), unveiled the updated text yesterday.
'Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.
Many say it's better, some say it's still not good enough. Of course, many say the whole thing's unnecessary. UPDATE: Of course, almost immediately after posting, I read again how Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) "call(ed) the whole West Coast love-in a 'well-intentioned mistake.'" Of note, he could see himself getting married, but also frets that he's a little old (63).
