Absolutely. Chances of that happening with Obama or Romney in office? Zero.

"This is going to keep happening till a defense of marriage amendment to the Constitution is passed."

Actually, the PROBLEM started with the pandering to select Classes of people, by politicians, for their VOTES.

Consequently, the POLITICALLY-APPOINTED Judges ruled that the Constitution's "Equal Protection" clause did not mean TO ALL PEOPLE, but rather now means to all people's agenda's. MEN and WOMEN, regardless of religion, color, or National Origin, are ALL that should be applied as the Equal....what sex lives, net worth, or non-citizenships are issues that should not even enter into any consideration.

We've lost our Common Sense, and moral compass. Sex activity has NO BEARING on what should or should not be applied under the 14th Amendment, period.

Allowing foreigners (criminally in THIS country), voting rights, driver's licenses, social security benefits, income tax credits, etc., etc., is costing Trillions.

Implement "love it or leave it", and let the mal-contents try to find a Country that's more accomodating to their antics (good luck with that !)

“This is going to keep happening till a defense of marriage amendment to the Constitution is passed.”

The time for that has come.... and passed.
It’s too late now.

A few years ago, there was a “window of opportunity” through which a “Marriage Amendment” might have passed. But that window has now closed.

The left is traveling the same path with homosexual marriage as they did with abortion. That is, get liberalized laws passed in a few states, get court decisions in their favor in a few states, and then “go for the big one” in the Supreme Court.

Eventually, this is how they will win the issue.

Republicans and conservatives had their chance to stop gay marriage in it’s tracks, and backed away. They had a very good chance of getting a Marriage Amendment through both houses of Congress, but chose to put up the “Defense of Marriage” act because a Constitutional Amendment would have seemed too drastic, too “divisive”. They set themselves up for the defeat that’s coming.

By the way, I was one of the first posters on this board, and the first people anywhere, to propose a “Marriage Amendment” years ago. But again, one must “strike while the iron is hot”.

For conservatives, this iron has grown cold. I wish I could be more optimistic about this, but I’m not.

Insanely, this same "judge" will just find such an amendment to the US Constitution "unconstitutional."
