Even if he is wrong about the odds of it passing, he is right about the time frame. Amendments take a long time, for good reason. An action to get in the way of this ruling that comes quickly and decisively sends a strong statement AND has the effect of keeping marriage to it's traditional definition.

For the record, I have signed a petition for the FMA and I have written in support of it. I would LOVE to see it passed. But the fact is that it's not a fast response - that's not how amendments are designed.

Who said it was fast? The author's point was that it was damn near hopeless, and he's wrong.
