Yet Congress can choose to exempt pretty much anything from Federal courts' authority if they want to, certainly more easily than getting an amendment ratified. And if leftist judges cannot read the plain wording of the existing laws & Constitution, then why should we expect they'll respect the wording of a new amendment?

I only set forth the theory of why a marriage amendment has been proposed and why its proponents think it will work. I understand and sympathize with your frustration and hopelessness; but we must not allow it to keep us from trying to hold back the huge threat of atheist socialism deeply entrenched in our society. Persons of conscience have been asleep too long. The solution will never be political; there must be campaigns for hearts and minds regarding the superiority of natural man-woman faithful marriage and parenthood over synthetics like same-sex "open relationships", "partnering" and "parenting".

“. . . we must not allow [frustration and hopelessness] to keep us from trying to hold back the huge threat of atheist socialism deeply entrenched in our society. Persons of conscience have been asleep too long. The solution will never be political; there must be campaigns for hearts and minds regarding the superiority of natural man-woman faithful marriage and parenthood over synthetics like same-sex “open relationships”, “partnering” and “parenting”.”
