The reason DOMA passed in 1996 was because there was not enough support for a constitutional amendment. There is surely less support now, sixteen years later.

Unless and until the broad social consensus that “sexual orientation” is a real, fixed entity, like “blue eyes-brown eyes”, as the propagandists like to say, is changed homosexual “marriages” are going to be mandated within a few years.

There is much more support nationally now that people have seen what the courts have done to state initiatives across the country. I know the numbers, this has been a part of my life since 2000.

Because of RINOs like McCain. McCain gave some lame excuse for not supporting a constitutional amendment because he thought DOMA was adequate when any idiot could of forseen Federal courts striking it down and the case going to the SCOTUS with Kennedy will be providing the fifth vote to strike it down.

Apparently you missed the kenyan tanking in the polls right after he did his gay tap dance on TV. This continued homo fixation by the dims is going to push a lot of married women to the GOP. That could be key in places like OH.

If a politician thinks a marriage amendment will keep them in power they will pass it yesterday.

DC lives in a vacume.

This is why the effetes need to be primaried and conservatives have to not be suckered by third party losers.

also when it came close to passing they put a poison pill flag burning amendment in there too. It was a “we tried” BS manuver by the RINOs.
