Why would this die in the senate?

Democrat filibuster, I suppose.

Cruz Files Constitutional Amendment To Ban Same-Sex Marriage

The story belies the headline, but that's getting to be par for most news stories.

That is not what the proposed amendment would do.

Cruz filed two bills this week, one of which would establish a constitutional amendment protecting from legal action states that define marriage as only between a man and a woman, according to Bloomberg News. 

The other would stop federal courts from considering the same-sex marriage issue until that amendment is in place.

While the legislation isn’t likely to make it far in the Senate – similar legislation Cruz introduced last year also failed – the freshman senator is sending a message to evangelical voters by proposing the bills early in his campaign.
