The real difficulty with Will's position, however, is his notion that the states will be allowed to be laboratories of social policy. They will not; the Supreme Court, as in the case of Roe, will simply replace the social policies of all of the states with its own policy.
Article III, Section 2
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
An ammendment will not pass - and I also believe it to be unwise. The key is, once again, making the CONGRESS that we elect - DO THEIR JOB!!! They have the power to remove all federal court jurisdiction over the DOM act.
AND they have the votes to actually DO IT.
