Had all 15 slave states held together opposing the amendment, it would have taken 46 states to ratify it. Care to do the math?

I love math! But unfortunately, you can't even get 15 states to vote as a block then or today. But you can get the Northeast to legalize homosexual marriages, and force them on the rest of the republic.

Wrong twice. But say, for the sake of argument, that they only got the 13 states that supposedly made up the confederacy. The states that rebelled to protect slavery in the first place. It would have taken 39 states to ratify it. Again, do the math.

I'll ping lentulusgracchus and let him give you a lecture on your statist ways and take you to task about states and marriage. And in the meantime I'll point out that you're wrong. The fact that New Hampshire or Massachusetts legalize homosexual marriage has no impact on us out in Kansas who amended our state Constitution to ban it. What New England chooses to do is of no interest to us.

one of the FEW things that you can count on is that "the smart set" of the northeastern states will "latch on to"/adopt EVERY single NUTBALL idea that any fringe group of lunatics/crackpots thinks up,will make it "their own" & then will try to FORCE it on the rest of the country.

it seems to be part of the "regional character" of the NE's population to want to be "trendy", i.e., WIERD/stupid/ARROGANT/SELF-impressed.
