Check out this interview she did with David Brody of CBN:

In a one-on-one interview with The Brody File, Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin signaled her support for a federal marriage amendment. Up to this point, she hadn’t really said one way or the other whether she officially supports one. I interviewed Gov. Palin this weekend for 20 minutes in Lancaster, Pa. My full report can be seen Tuesday on The 700 Club. Check The Brody File for other clips regarding her faith, media scrutiny and much more.

Here’s the video:

Brody: On Constitutional marriage amendment , are, are you for something like that? Palin: I am, in my own, state, I have voted along with the vast majority of Alaskans who had the opportunity to vote to amend our Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman. I wish on a federal level that that’s where we would go because I don’t support gay marriage. I’m not going to be out there judging individuals, sitting in a seat of judgment telling what they can and can’t do, should and should not do, but I certainly can express my own opinion here and take actions that I believe would be best for traditional marriage and that’s casting my votes and speaking up for traditional marriage that, that instrument that it’s the foundation of our society is that strong family and that’s based on that traditional definition of marriage, so I do support that.

Ann Althouse wishes someone would have a talk with the Alaska Governor:

Somebody please ask her the follow-up question about the constitutional amendment. There are other things that can be done “on a federal level” to oppose same-sex marriage, and she only refers to amending the Alaskan constitution. These are important distinctions, because it is very hard to amend the U.S. Constitution and equally hard to repeal an amendment. Nevertheless, this expressed desire to operate “on a federal level” shows no concern for the conventional conservative idea of leaving it to the states. In sliding from talking about what she’s done in Alaska to the subject of federal law, she doesn’t seem to have any instinct for federalism or perhaps even any awareness of it. And quite aside from any concern about the specific issue of gay marriage or the more general matter of federalism, there is a real absence of structured thinking here.

Ann, that’s been evident to some of us for quite some time now.

Nonetheless, this should at least put to rest the absurd suggestion made by some that Sarah Palin is any kind of libertarian.
