Does a concealed carry permit from Florida will be accepted in Massachusetts?
I doubt it. The Full Faith and Credit clause has plenty of loopholes.
Furthermore, a liberal Supreme Court can find that European law or the UN Charter of Human Rights overrides the US Constitution, amended or not, and gay marriage is an alienable right.
I think that amending our precious documents to fight liberal judges is not adequate. We need a conservative-leaning President and Senate, not a ERA-like amendment that will never be ratified.
The problem you correctly identified is liberal judges. We need to elect a few conservative Senators with a backbone who will be leaders in the US Senate, instead of caving in to Democrats on the Judicial Committee.
In my humble opinion, ten Jesse Helms will do more in the US Senate for conservatives that any amendment to the US Constitution.
On the other hand, perhaps this talk about a constitutional amendment will help reelect Bush, especially if it helps energize the Republican base.
