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

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

I'm not so sure of this. It's certainly never happened, and I've been involved in several heated discussions over this very subject on this board.

I think the most you can say is that it has never been done before.

No, but they can pretend it says something it doesn't. From "Nor shall any state...deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws," the Supreme Court somehow created a right to discriminate against white people.
