“Thompson’s pat answer for everything seems to be “Leave it to the states”. Perhaps he’s against a pro life Constitutional amendment, too - I mean if he’s consistent.”

It is time to be “consistent” on possibilities, Saundra.
Do you realize how hard/difficult it is to add an amendment to our Constitution ? I think that Fred, knowing how almost impossible this task would be, is not in favor of initiating this. Trying to get two thirds of the states to ratify this is or would be very difficult. However, if two thirds of the states ratified the
proposal that a legal marriage is only between a man and a woman, he would be for it in a heartbeat.

Given Thompson’s screwball voting record in the Senate, I have my doubts. Thompson seems to take the dogmatism of federalism and lets it run ahead of common sense.
