Hey, I'm not the world's biggest fan of gay marriage, but the fact is that it just plain doesn't affect me, whether it's legal or not, and I'm SURE not going to vote for any Constitutional Amendment.

Sounds eeirely like the "first the came for the Jews, but I said nothing for I was not a Jew" line of reasoning.

We're aren't dealing with Gays here, we are dealing with precidents in the cultural war. This ammendment is cumbersome, but the fact is that Big Brother is alive and well in SCOTUS because we have near sighted, irresponsible judges committing the Cardinal sin of the Supreme Court, ruling without Constitutional basis.

This proposed Ammendment is as much about a check and balance with an out of control SCOTUS as much as it is about definition of marriage.

I think I didn't make myself clear. I simply don't care whether gays get married.

And frankly, I don't think the Supreme Court overstepped its bounds at all. In fact, I was rather pleased with the decision; I didn't much like the idea of the police entering into people's homes and arresting them for private, consenting conduct.

But even if you don't like the Court's decision, this is the risk you run of allowing the Supreme Court to review laws for constitutionality. You take your lumps when it comes to a few things. My personal "white whale" is the administrative state, but it is what it is.

Remember, the Court isn't final because it is infallible, it is infallible because it's final.

This proposed Ammendment is as much about a check and balance with an out of control SCOTUS mob rule as much as it is about definition of marriage Constitutional rights, liberties, and freedoms.
