I do understand your point. We are currently ruled by an oligarchy and have been for many years. Congress, the most powerful branch of our Government, refuses to do it's job.
I'll agree that a very good case can be made for the amendment but I am far more fearful for the current ruling oligarchy having any legal basis to have an opinion on marriage. At least what they are doing now is Illegal, and we do have recourse if enough people choose to take it; and that is to require that our congressmen do their job
We should impeach and remove from the bench judges who had expresses their disdain for our Republic by expressing their intent to put us under the jurisdiction of other countries rulings.
We should vote out any congressmen who vote for a law that deals with a subject that "we the people" have not given them authority to legislate on.
This two party system has killed our republic. The point has become having your "side" win instead of what is legal to do by our Constitution.
While time is quickly passing where we will have the capability to regain a Constitutionally functioning government, we still do have the means.

I couldn't agree with you more that our system is badly broken, and especially that judges and justices who rely on foreign law to make decisions should be impeached forthwith. However, I don't like the idea of a mere law being passed to deal with this. Laws can be changed too easily, and I greatly fear setting a precedent of letting the Congress tinker so easily with the judiciary. I prefer an Amendment, so that the people of the entire country fire a shot across the judiciary's bow.

We are coming to a breakpoint in our society. Listening to talk radio and surfing the Internet, I get the impression that many people are getting VERY sick and tired of the rulings that are entirely out of synch with our traditions, current law and the current public mood, rulings which are aimed at nothing less than the destruction of our country as we know it.

The decision on the Pledge of Allegiance case that will be heard today should be interesting. If the ruling goes against the Pledge as it is, this will KILL the Dems' chances in November - the courts will finally be revealed to be out of control for even the dullest knives in the drawer, and they'll be motivated to vote for people who will allow strict constructionists to be appointed and confirmed.
