Exceedingly slim? I think you're living in a fantasy world, pardner.

Frankly, besides that the thing is just plain laughable on its face--I mean, a constitutional amendment?! are you kidding me?--it is enormously difficult to get one of these things passed.

I live in Indiana--a darn conservative state--and I have my doubts that the thing would even pass here. It's just...dumb.

You'll rethink that when it gets ratified...

Yep, it is laughable.

--it is enormously difficult to get one of these things passed.

This one won't be, unless it's stopped by the GOP establishment that don't really want it.

Yeah, Indiana is one of the dozen or so target states after the first tier. Wanna bet Indiana ratifies within 3 years?

Just watch....

The organization linked above, The Marriage Alliance, had some polling data on their web site which suggested that 60%+ of Blacks, Latinos, and working class Whites would support a marriage amendment. These are not typical GOP voters. What happens if a significant proportion of them (say 20%) votes GOP just based on Democrat recalcitrance on this issue?

The victory strategy for the good guys just kinda writes itself, doesn't it?
