I hate to say this (I should bite off my pinkie finger for doing so), but I have to agree with McLame (I still hate the skunk).

It should be left to the states, like many other issues. And states should be able to also have the right to not recognize a same sex marriage from another state.

But!!! And this is a big BUT (no jokes please) ... when a state passes a "one man, one woman" marriage amendment, NO JUDGE should be able to overturn it ... period. Any attempt to do so by a state judge should subject him/her to be drawn and quartered in a public square in font of the court house.

It should be left to the states, like many other issues.

But it won't be. Sooner or later a federal court will overturn a state ban on homo marriage and it will go to the USSC for a final decision. Unless Bush can get another originalist Justice on the court before a Democrat or a Rino like Giuliani or McCain gets into the White House in '09 the USSC would probably uphold the lower court.

It will take 2/3 of both houses of Congress and ratification by 38 states to amend the Constitution to ban homo marriage. And public opinion of homo marriage is gradually being changed from unfavorable to favorable by the intense, concerted effort of the leftist media and Hollywood. That's why we need the amendment NOW, before the growing trend toward toleration of homosexual perversion by the public grows into a substantial bloc of favorable opinion for homo marriage so that an amendment couldn't be passed and ratified by the requisite super majority.

Once the amendment is made part of the Constitution it would take 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the states to repeal it, and I don't believe there would be enough support for homo marriage to get that done anytime soon. IOW time is on the side of those who oppose such an amendment.

And what about what this Fed. amendment really addresses, that no state shall be forced to accept homosexual marriage. That has been the case in MA and VT via judges, and CT via the legislature. All those people are being denied their right to vote. Those people ARE the states.
