How ignorant. The constitution has a process by which it is amended. They set it up that way from day one. If you like gay marriage, by all means fight the proposal.
LOL. Um. Yea. I know that. But that doesn't make any proposed amendment appropriate. This amendment is not appropriate.
The purpose of the Constitution is to define the responsibilities and boundaries of gubmint. It's function is to identify the components of our gubmint (the branches), to define their roles and scope of authority, and that's that.
It's not supposed to include policy decisions. That's for the Congress to do by the regular means of making laws. Amazing someone as haughty as yourself doesn't even get this simple fact.
If Congress has the power to regulate state marriage, it can pass a law. I don't know that they do have that power, nor do I think it's appropriate. Let the states manage their own business.
If Congress doesn't have the power to regulate marriage over the states, the constitution could be amended to give it that power. Something like "Congress shall have the power to regulate marriage and all state laws shall be subject to it." That would at least have the virtue of treating the Constitution for what it is.
But to attempt to inject into the Constitution a policy outcome is anti-republican, and probably destined for failure. In fact, it's probably nothing more than an inane politcal stunt. Score points while accomplishing nothing. This guy is definitely in the right profession. LOL.
“If you like gay marriage, by all means fight the proposal.”
I’d like the government to get out of the marriage business, gay or straight.
