The Constitution doesn’t need amending to preserve traditional marriage. The 10th Amendment handles it. What we need is a Supreme Court that recognizes that the federal government has over-reached or, failing that, a Congress that is willing to use its impeachment and removal powers on judges who fail in their Constitutional duties.

Exactly, the SCOTUS is taking WAY more power than what the Founding Fathers set them up to do, the system of checks and balances is not working.

Was California’s vote to ban same-sex marriage overturned by just one Judge? Or even if it was 3 federal judges, see, that’s not how the system is suppose to work.

That one Judge upheld Louisiana’s ban. Maybe that’s one state that can stick with it.

Apparently you are wrong as current events prove.

The only solution to this problem is an amendment to the constitution that applies specifically to Marriage just like there is an amendment that applies specifically to speech, guns, etc.
