Supporters and critics of Amendment One, the measure dubbed the marriage amendment, offer their contrasting arguments during a May 3, 2012, debate sponsored by the Federalist Society and John Locke Foundation. Tami Fitzgerald of the N.C. Values Coalition and Ken Klukowski of the Center for Religious Liberty argue in favor of the amendment. Duke political science professor Michael Munger and American Civil Liberties Union state legal director Katy Parker argue against the amendment. The Federalist Society’s Robert Numbers moderates.
