What point is there in that? The Supreme Court will simply invalidate it. They are not bound by the Constitution. It's their opinion that is important, as far as they are concerned.

A better move would be to appoint justices who would simply announce that from now on, gay marriage is unconstitutional. That's how we amend the Constitution in the 21st Century.

The Supreme Court CAN NOT invalidate a Constitutional Amendment. An amendment becomes part of the constitution by definition. The court is bound to uphold it against all challenges and CAN NOT invalidate it in any way.

You think the Supreme Court would declare the Constitution to be unconstitutional?

I guess it could happen.
