Im not well versed in the intricasies of the consitution of points of law but it seems to me that what we need to address are theses judicial appointments for life. I Find it appalling that these judges cannot be stopped once they are in the door. The fact that they spit on what the people want is beyond the pale.

I think it needs a slight change.

`SECTION 1. Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man (who was born a man) and a woman (who was born a woman). Neither this Constitution or the constitution of any State, nor state or federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups.'.

`SECTION 1. Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman.

It may be prudent to change the wording to 'one man and one woman' as you never know if down the road the definition of "a" may be called into question.

What does this do to prohibit the 'Civil Union' as recognized in Vermont? I see nothing prohibiting it.
