The best reason I can think of is that it is a waste of time. If the hearts of people are not changed, we are going down and going down hard. We need to find ways to survive the fall and come through on the other side.
The time for an amendment would have been 2 decades ago when we were sold the DOMA bill of goods.
I’m sickened by the gleeful reactions of most of the young people in my extended family. My daughter, a conservative by the grace of God, told me that this is the number one issue among today’s college students, and the vast majority are pro homosexual marriage. They have no idea who is running for president, rarely can tell you who ISIS is, or understand what’s going on at the border. All they care about is “gay marriage,” and they’re all voting on that issue.
An amendment is already failed before it begins. The American people don’t like constitutional amendments.
