I think there is something wrong with the whole political and justice system.

I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling the homo's are going to win this same sex marriage plot.I think the pols are going to stab the majority of the people , who are against it, in the back and shoot down the marriage amendment.

Make it clear to the pols that any and all who vote down the same sex marriage ammendment will be voted out of office... in the primary where competition is thinner. Doesn't matter which party they are in, let them know that we will register to throw them out.

Why? Just because the rule of thumb I've observed for the past 30 years or so is that the conservatives are always right (about predicting what will follow if such-and-such happens) and the liberals always win? Then by the time the conservatives are proved right, no one (read mainstream media and "opinion makers") cares. Of course, the dire predictions of conservatives might have been what they wanted all along.

I am afraid that you are correct that the pols will shoot down the marriage amendment. Tom Delay has even indicated that the Amendment is his last choice after all other options and the last nose count I saw showed that less than 1/2 of Senators were in favor of the amendment. Even if that estimate is too gloomy, we have a long way to go to get to 2/3 of the Senators. Also, it doesn't help that the GOP doesn't speak with one voice on this issue and leaders are taking opposing positions.
