As it is, the Constitution allows for Amendments.
Let the states decide their gay marriage laws.
That's what the CMA would do. As it stands the precedents of Lawrence v Texas indicate that the many states that have defined marriage as being between one man and one woman would lose their prerogative under the DoMA when the Supreme Court applies the full faith and credit clause to the next available challenge by a same sex couple from Massachuessetts.
Most Americans like marriage the way it is, and it's going to take an Amendment to protect it from redefinition by a few judges.
The CMA will never fly. And even if it does, it will be unenforceable, much like the Volstead Act which outlawed alcohol.
If this ammendment passes, organized crime will recognize the demand for perversion, and they will fill the void in places like NYC and Chicago. Before you know it, Canadians will be smuggling homosexuals into this country in false compartments in panel trucks, and the mafia will get rich.
"Genesis 2:24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh." (NASB)
I like Genesis 2:24 just as it is, thank you.
I'm with Fatalis on this one.
When people threaten to use the Constitution to force changes to an institution that is millenia older than the Constitution , then I say it is time to change the Constitution.
