How can you ban Gay marriage now? On what grounds could it be denied without the Supremes nullifying it?

I also want to see how the government justifies no-knock raids now that whatever adults choose to do in their homes is okay.

Amendments trump Supremes.

The Supreme Court can't declare a Constitutional Amendment unconstitutional.

With all due respect, this question reveals a real lack of understanding regarding our governmental system.

By doing exactly what Senator Frist is proposing. Adding an amendment to the U.S. Constitution which specifically defines marriage in the United States and all it's territories.

SCOTUS cannot override the Constitution. But I imagine that we will then have the problem of defining exactly what is a man and what is a woman. After all, if we don't even really know what "IS", is.

If a constitutional amendment passes and 2/3rds of the states ratify it,there's not a thing the "supreme court joke"can do about it!
