Defense of Marriage Coalition (Oregon), Judges
"Most people believe marriage should be between a man and a woman," says a narrator. "That's Oregon law, and it just makes common sense.

"Measure 36 doesn't change the constitution, it only clarifies what has always been."
The constitutional amendment passed, with 57% of voters supporting the measure -- as they did in 11 states during the November 2004 election -- but it was the weakest win of any state. Like 37 other states that already had laws defining marriage as only between a man and a woman, amendment supporters feared a court could toss aside the state law.
