NPR's Madeleine Brand talks with NPR's Eric Niiler about the debate on Capitol Hill over the Federal Marriage Amendment. If passed, it would define marriage exclusively as the union of a man and a woman. The U.S. Senate is expected to vote Wednesday on the amendment. The measure is unlikely to get the needed two-thirds majority to pass, but promises to be an issue in the run-up to the November elections.
