New Hampshire Debate Observation #3 -- John Edwards Doesn't Know

Very much about the law. The Brady Bill has already sunsetted. I assume that he meant that he would renew the Assault Weapons Ban. Similarly, he clearly (or through willful blindness) does not understand the purpose behind the proposals to prohibit states from recognizing (or being required to recognize) gay marriage. Arguably, the "full faith and credit" provision in the US Constitution requires states to recognize "marriages" from other states. With the current trend on the US Supreme Court, something clearly needs to be done to allow states the freedom to define marriage as they wish, without running afoul of the U.S. Constitution.
