If the Supreme Court finds the amendment unconstitutional -- which, thanks to Lawrence, they now claim the right to do -- then we're sunk.

The Supreme Court can not overturn a Constitutional Amendment.

The Supreme Court can not overturn a Constitutional Amendment

Isn't is a pity that you are required to remind somebody of this fact?

If the congress and the states pass an amendment that states all cheese except for Extra Sharp cheddar is illegal, the supreme court must honor that as law.

The constitution is living, each time it is amended it changes. If people genuinely want changes, they can petition the congress to pass an amendment. If for example, somebody wants to jail homosexuals, they could pass an amendment to the constitution, get it ratified by the states, and it would be the law of the land.

Why is this concept so difficult for people to grasp?

The Supreme Court can not overturn a Constitutional Amendment.

The Supreme Court can not overturn a Constitutional Amendment.

The Lawrence v. Texas decision overturned the 10th Amendment. The 10th is now null and void.

Actually, they did just that in the Michigan Case. They said that the 14th Amendment has to take a timeout for the sake of diversity. Two really bad rulings in less than a week.
