5 Of 7 Republican Candidates Support Federal Marriage Amendment

One of the questions during last night’s debate dealt with the issue of a Federal Marriage Amendment. Of the seven candidates at the debate, only Herman Cain and Ron Paul did not endorse the Amendment. Michele Bachman’s answer was, well, a little odd but you’ll have to wait till the end to hear that:

Basically, Bachmann says she supports a Federal Marriage Amendment but she wouldn’t support overturning state law. Does she not understand that a Federal Marriage Amendment would overturn state law in states where same-sex marriage is legal?
