I meant you're right on your post 17. My reply to your post 19 is my post 23. LOL! I should have copied your points. Sorry about that.

LOL! I guess that's what happened when I follow-up too quickly!
Anyway, your points are very sound and I can see your point of view. I am still more scared of giving the SCOTUS a legal point to go after by mentioning marriage in the Constitution. I would like it better if the Congress simply removed the SCOTUS and federal courts jurisdiction on any issue regarding marriage.
If the folks in say, California wanted to sanction homosexual "marriages", then they have that power. Just don't bend over when there.
The most persuasive point you made was about the redefinition of marriage completely reshaping our society. In that context I suppose that a carefully worded amendment would be in order.
I suppose I'm about 55% to 45% in favor of my point of view.
