Look, you're probably right about the vast majority of people being opposed to gay marriage, but that's an entirely different thing than people voting for a Constitutional Amendment.

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. Frankly, I think the Bill of Rights would have been a lot better if they would have stopped after "Congress shall make no law."

So to give the federal government more power for no particular reason? No way.

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.

Unless you're an elected state or federal legislator, you don't get a vote.

Fine. It's going to get put to a vote so I guess we'll just have to see, won't we?
