—The next step, BTW, is a federal lawsuit under the “full faith and credit” clause to require all states to recognize the gay marriages performed in those states where it is legal.—

And that’s why we need a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex “marriage.” Personally, I’d be willing to make a deal with the ‘rats in congress to the effect “we’ll let you put FOCA in the constitution if you give us a “one man/one woman marriage amendment”. I think the ‘rats would be happy to throw the pooves under the bus for a deal like that. Sure, it sucks having FOCA enshrined in the Constitution, but abortion is a fait accomplit—even if Roe v. Wade went the other way it still would be (with just a few more limitations). Same-sex “marriage” is far more corrosive to the cohesivenss of the family structure than anything else imaginable.

You say we need an amendment.

I need a billion dollar bailout.

My wish is just about as likely to be fulfilled as yours.

When we can’t even elect a majority in Congress, how in the h*ll are we going to get an amendment passed, something at least 10x more difficult?

Um, what? Banning gay marriage between consenting adults is so important that we should enshrine the slaughter of innocents in our Constitution? What kind of sense does that make? The trade you suggest is sick.

I've never understood this. The cohesiveness and structure of my family is only threatened by my own inability to maintain them.
