It is up to each state to decide whether there should be civil unions or not.
Only Vermont hs recognized civil unions.
For some reason, New York does not recognize civil unions. I, personally, think they should.
i understand the differance.
The point I am trying to make is that the federal government can basically force a state government to do what they want it to do.
2 ways they can do it is
1. remove federal aid to the state.
2. Influencing party members to do what the Party wants.
2. A political party is not the federal government.
2 political partys!!!
2, A political party influencing party members of a state is not the federal government forcing a state to do something.
Besides, being a member of a political party does not automatically force a member of a Congress to vote a certain way. A member of Congress votes in a manner that he feels represents the will of the people.
