Effort to remove ban on same-sex marriage in Virginia Constitution clears Senate

Michael Pope reports an effort to change that took a step forward Monday.
The Senate also approved a constitutional amendment to allow the automatic restoration of voting rights for formerly convicted felons. But it also faces an uphill battle in the House of Delegates.
