[Luis Gonzalez]

"...unless the People clear their throat and act to secure the situation."

And "the people" is NOT the Federal government.

"The people" is the States.

The Feds are more likely to enact an Amendment "protecting the rights" of same sex citizens to marry, than they are ratifying an Amendment securing the traditional definition of marriage.

Mark my words.

You DON'T win this with an all or nothing fight at the Federal level, but rather by ratifying an Amendment to each State Constitution defining marriage as one man, one woman.

And "the people" is NOT the Federal government. "The people" is the States.

Yes, that's quite right.

Sitting in convention, to amend the Constitution of the United States, in Article IV of which is where the problem lies.
