I certainly don't agree with gay marriage, but I'm not sure there's anything in the Constitution that prohibits it.

That's why we need a Constitutional ban on gay marriage.

We should believe activist judges who disregard the Constitution would have any regard for a Constitutional Ammendment because?

In order for an Ammendment to be effective, some judges will have to be removed from the bench.

I have not heard anything about Bush actually doing anything to get that constitutional amendment. I am waiting.

Forget it. Won't happen and it shouldn't. If the states want it....it's their choice.

The FMA, federal marriage amendment, is not a ban on homosexual marriage. It defines marriage and likewise prohibits the courts from monkeying with the defenition.

Remeber it is the ABA's model divorce code which is facilitating judicial thought into legal gaming of marriage based on adult recreational sex rather than as an institution which rases the future generations of society.

......and I hope every Freeper is writing their senators, etc and encouraging the constitutional ban . In my opinion, if in the next few months a constitutional ban becomes a reality, it will help President Bush greatly in the polls and re-election. Most Americans do NOT want the gay marriage.!!!

Perhaps because even though homosexuality existed then, they never envisioned that they'd want to marry....

What's in the Cosntitution is the Guarantee clause. It guarantees a republican form of government to every state. The Mass. court violated the separation of powers in their state. But don't expect the SCOTUS to notice. They violate it themselves all the time.

That's because when the Constitution was written...that filthy little habit was kept private. We are a perverse society, look around you, not even our great grandparents would have anticipated such open depravity!!

The Constitution.....Isn't that where we put all of our laws that government is exempt from?
