I support such an Amendment, even though in a sane world one would not be needed.
And yet, the courts are still not redefining the institution of marriage. It is impossible for them to do so, because God defined it, from the very beginning of the creation. All they are doing, in fact, is destroying their own credibility and the foundations of the institutions they represent. They are not defenders of fairness, justice and equality, as they would have you believe. No. They are destroyers, of themselves and anyone who is foolish enough to go along with them.
I used to think the same that such an amendment should never be needed.
A Marriage Amendment is a sign for posterity that America at one time had to go to an extreme in organizing against perversity to the extent of carving protections in its Constitution.
For hundreds of years Americans had the good sense to never consider what is now happening. But today this is brought as a targeted effort by the Left and by homosexual fascists to force its will against the social mores and traditions of American families and ultimately the Church. The attack is carried out on a perverse basis in the 14th Amendment.
Unfortunately, there is no other realistic or effective means to stop this attack except by a process of amending the Constitution.
A Marriage Amendment once ratified will have far reaching ramifications beyond stopping the normalization of perversity. It will call on future courts to consider the social mores and traditions of Americans and further to the long established tenets of human history and natural law. Hence, it will have a long term beneficial effect on courts.
