exactly

what we need for people to wake up is for poligimists to try and get their marriage

I kid you not it is the only way for others to realise that we need the change.

bush should have tried to get it done when we had power and the people were fed up of the Dems, now we have to try again in a couple of years

In the meantime I want to see these groups get their kind of marriage legalised.

I wonder what the homo’s would say to that and their rights

Sure we need a constitutional amendment.

Not going to get it though. To pass one requires something like 80% popular support, pretty evenly distributed throughout the country. We probably couldn’t come up with much more than 60% and dropping.

One house of the legislature in each of 13 states would derail it. You truly believe there are 48 states that would vote for the amendment.

There hasn’t been an amendment passed with regard to a controversial issue since those passed right after the Civil War. And they passed using methods that were at best only arguably constitutional.
