MPR's Mark Zdechlik has been at Camp Shelby in Mississippi for the last few days, covering the send-off for the Minnesota National Guard troops to Iraq. I asked him to intercept Sen. Dean Johnson, who is part of the political entourage to today's celebration, and get him to explain his reported remarks on what the Supreme Court in this state would or would not do on the existing laws regulating marriage.

The audio was just sent along to me and I send it along to you unedited. (RealPlayer required).

(Updated 5:10 p.m.) - Here's Tom Scheck's story, and Craig Westover has an update on Johnson's comments.
