And another thing, the only reason there already isn’t an amendment about this is because the founding fathers would’ve assumed people to just not engage in that kind of behavior, because in those days everyone had a general sense of morality and good and evil. Now that people have lost that, we need an amendment standing up for marriage and barring the sickos from being recognized as “married.”
Sorry, one more thing: It’s not big government coming from the left, it’s “big government” used for the purpose of upholding basic morality that has held society together. If that’s necessary, so be it. Better to add another amendement than to let society slowly fall apart for the sake of the “it’s the states’ right” crowd.
ALso some states would not likely ban, Massachusetts for example. With an amendment they’d have to.
