"That said, I think there's a large contingent of moderate folks who would say it isn't for the government to meddle."

Does that include the Supreme Court redefining marriage? The same people who think abortion is not for them but "who am I to tell a woman what she can do with her body?"

Big difference between saving a womans life and sanctifying anal sex into law.

Don't get me wrong: there's no moral equivalence between the two, except for the illogic. Abortion takes a life, while these actions are consensual (though one could argue nonconsensual societal impacts).

No problem.

As a selling point, it's difficult to drive home judicial activism to your typical "non-FreeRepublic" type. An amendment is pretty clearcut. I just think there are many out there who would see this as purely political and not worth an amendment.

But I don't claim to be an expert...makes for interesting debate though.

What concerns me most is the outrage over this but resignation over the pending prescription drug benefit. If huge subsidies of that sort aren't damaging to the idea of personal responsibility, I don't know what is. My real agenda here is to convince folks to exert more agenda on that stuff, and less on issues like this...
