You can also amend via a constitutional convention. That only requires 2/3 of the states to convene, and 3/4 to ratify. And since far more than 2/3 of the states have already taken steps against homo "marriage," I think the convention could be summoned. Ratification might be a little tougher but I think it could be done.

At any rate, it's our last stop before outright war.

The people who will be truly damaged by this will be bakeries, florists etc. who are against gay weddings on religious grounds. You will be sued if you refuse to supply cakes, flowers and what have you for gay weddings. There will be vicious gay activism to drag those folks into court.

But a convention also opens the door to pretty much anything people want to try to put in there. Get what you wish for and you may end up with things you didn’t want.

Thank you, JimRob

They got their big government, their socialist healthcare, their taxpayer funded abortion. They're currently destroying the military and our industrial might, and Obama is making America the laughing stock of the world. From superpower to flat busted and defenseless in less than five years of Obama. If they now get "gay rights" and open-borders amnesty, our last hill is the 2nd amendment. And they're definitely ramping up to take that. I don't put much hope in the likes of McCain, Graham, Flake, Rubio, McConnell, Boehner, Ryan, and the rest of the hornless, wooly RINO herd to suddenly grow spines. Very few dependable conservatives left in the GOP. Tokyo Rove must be awfully proud of himself. The last stand will be up to we the people. Praying we're up for it. Praying the Chicoms, Russians and their ilk don't decide now is the time before we get a chance to recover.

Exactly.

If played right, this is actually the best SCOTUS ruling we’ve seen in a long while. It should be a 10th amendment flood gate.

If Cali wants to ban guns and “marry” homos, more power to them. It has absolutely no affect on me whatsoever - so I don’t care, it’s their soul.

If Texas wants to build a border wall, deport illegals, and pass open carry... more power to them also. Austin will self-deport back to California and we can get back to not having traffic jams because it sprinkled a little bit.

A huge, heretofore hidden part of the gay agenda is the doing away of normal marriage.

Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!

It won't be long. In the meantime, keep your light burning brightly.

But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Luke 17:29,30.

So likewise you, when you shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Matthew 24:33.

RedBadger said that there will be many more “fake” marriages (among newly “married” homosexuals) just for the income-tax benefits. I cited the Tax Foundation study which states that, for most middle-class taxpayers, there is a marriage penalty, not a marriage subsidy, embedded in the federal tax code. So, the tax code by itself is not an inducement for any couple (regardless of sexual orientation or degree of commitment) to marry.

The main reason for “fake” marriages among heterosexuals now is employer-provided family health benefits, and I assume this will carry over to homosexuals in states where they can legally “marry”.

It is the duty of the conveners to manage the convention’s agenda. Any reasonably capable parliamentarian can keep the breadth under control.

Teddy Kennedy kept his first choice off the court!

Do you mean Robert Bork? He still wouldn't have been part of this decision since he died in December.

Kagan, the Mexican kkk member, and the 3rd hag who seeks to have the US ruled by the UN empire.

I know...and then Obama would have had a chance to replace a conservative with a liberal,making the court even WORSE than it is now...if that's possible!

Talk about a no-win scenario!

Right. How I wish Bork had been on SCOTUS. Probably 30 million or more unborn babies would have been saved because Bork instead of O’Connor would have heard and ruled on Casey. What Kennedy did caused these deaths as much as anyone, IMO.

Hard to quantify. I would think it would be no higher than traditional marriage. We are going to get the chance to see. Within 3 yearS all states will have it. Kennedy in his ruling mention equal protection that means game over
