"We the People" can, from time-to-time, engage in our own majority rule when we see fit through a Constitutional Amendment. It's called people power.

What a quaint, '60s expression.

The less messing with the Constitution, the better.

Remember the femi-Nazi sponsored "Equal Rights Amendment?"

Leave the Constitution alone. It's already gotten amended too many times.

Who cares if it was a quaint 60's expression. The word food has been around for as long time as well. Is that a quaint 2000 year old expression.

Quit dodging the issue.

If Constitutional Amendment's are so antithetical to our Representative Republic, then why did our Founding Fathers place them within the Constitutiuon a provision for them, moron.

Our Founding Fathers placed within the Constitution the right to Amend the Constitution, so I guess they thought it would be necessary from time to time to mess with the Constitution, moron.

Just because the femi-nazi inspired equal rights amendment was a bad idea doesn't mean that one stopping same-sex marraige or sending itto the sattes is a bad idea.

Sorry, sometimes we have to stop majority rule courts with a littlemajority rule of our own.

Please, you are just one of those that has no problem with the courts stepping all over the majority of people who don't want same-sex marriage by them engaging in majority rule tyranny.

Either that, or you are one of those who lacks the backbone to fight for waht you believe.

Agreed. The only amendment I want to see is one that repeals the 16th.
