“U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby ruled that Utah’s law passed violates gay and lesbian couples’ rights under the 14th Amendment.”
There is no reason why we cannot alter the 14th Amendment or even abolish it as all it has done in modern times has caused the courts to make wrong decisions.
Or, pass an amendment to the US Constitution prohibiting gay marriage and abolishing the Lawrence v. Texas ruling.
In today’s political climate, there is no way 38 states would ratify any of your proposed amendments.
