I'm in agreement that SCOTUS oversteps its bounds quite often and did so in this case. But in a world of finite resources, I'd submit the GOP has more important things to do with its time and money than pursue amendments prohibiting same sex marriage.

Well, I'd submit that the precedent of Roe and now Lawrence is demonstrative of a federal government branch wielding extra Constitutional power in a heavy handed manner that needs to be constrained right now.
Or we can wait until SCOTUS finds a transcendental right to socilaised medecine and a right to be free of firearms in the all encompassing 14th Amendment.

I do believe the Republican Party is capable of multitasking and getting this amendment passed too.
For those of us who are concerned for the health and well-being of the traditional family--and there are many of us in the Republican Party--this amendment is critically important.
Seems to me you're a libertarian, so nothing beyond your narrow focus of three feet and a cloud of smoke is important to you. Your shortsightedness is laughable.
