Can't argue with that.

However, given the reality of the current sitaution, and the move to define marriage as something other than it is, such an amendment, if it got the required support and passed muster, would, by definition, be constitutional.

I think the best way to solve this problem is to get rid of, sooner rather than later, these idiot judges and replace them with strong constitutionalists who would hold up the constitutional laws and strike down the unconstitutional ones, rather than pretending that state Consitutional amendments are verboten just because they uphold "traditional" marriage.
