Is that why the Republicans not acted on this issue much until election time? To use as a glag burning like polarizing issue against the Dems? I think it is so because they use the term constitutional ammendment-in politco talk that means we are all for it to gain votes and will do nothing to push it through. Congress has the authority - under the same ruling from the Supreme Court that banned polygamy (Reynolds VS USA) to ban Gay marriage across America by majority vote. Why has the Republican dominated congress refused to do so? Cowardice? Stupidity? Or political opportunisim? I am tired of the yo-yo play on my nation's well being.

It ought to be obvious to you that NO statute law is going to deal with this, because of the USSC ruling. State courts and federal courts will simply say that these laws run counter to "right to privacy" or some other nonsense.
An amendment is the only way to go here.

I understand exactly how you feel. This issue had me so fired up 4 weeks ago I was going to pull my vote from the Republican party and vote for the 1st 3rd party person that sounded like a real Christian. Not that I have seen the light now or anything, but I did start to think of who benefits the most from me doing that. It's the homos who seem to benefit and it is also them making this a big issue right now.
Think about it, the marriage license means nothing and getting married means nothing as far as their depravity is concerned. The sin they commit remains the same. They simply want to make W look bad and put their perversion in our faces. Every day that I turn on the TV my kids are treated to more "same sex marriage" discussion and images.
Sure I'm outraged. I just wonder what the best course of action is. They despise everything about W and the republican party and Christianity. I think W's staying in office is the most damage we can hope to do to their cause.
