So much for 'states rights'. Many of the people who will support this bs amendment (which deprives the states of their right to define marriage themselves as they have done for 200+ years) will claim they support states' rights and a smaller federal government. Don't believe them.

I'm going to assume that you're simply uninformed here. Because each state is required, constitutionally, to extend full faith and credit to the laws enacted by other states, it would only take one state to legalize homosexual marriage for all to have to recognize it.

That is tyranny of the extreme minority, and that is what this amendment would prevent.

As my coach used to tell me, don't assume anything...

While states are required to extend full faith and credit to the laws of other states, the states have always been able to disregard marriages from other states that are against the public policy of their state. So, particularly after DOMA, one state can't force others to allow gay marriage. And if some court tried to overturn DOMA, as I have noted above, DOMA should be made an amendment to the Constitution. But the gibberish proposed above should not.
