Rep. Rick Glazer says we seek to amend the constitutution because of our fear, and warns of what the amendment will do.

Rep. Diane Parfitt: "How shameful that the day after the tenth annivesary of the tragedy of 9/11 we are even considering an amendment...that takes away rights from our fellow men and women."
