| Public perception and positions on Major issues change throughout history. So, you're convinced the minds of the populace in a rapidly left-turning country can be changed on this issue? How do you propose that? |
Stay on target, please. The MAJORITY of the minds of the populace DO NOT WANT queer marriages.
It's a small radical minority (black robed thugs) who are undermining the majority. And the porposal?
A Constitutional Amendment.
Understand now?
I always DID understand it. However... a Constitutional amendment will require assent by 2/3 of both houses of Congress and 3/4 of the states. It's a reality thing. THAT I understand. You?
Sure, the majority are for Traditional Marriage. The trick is when you start getting into 2/3rds majority, 66%.
Let’s say North Carolina for example, they supported Traditional Marriage 58%-wise at the time this article was written: https://news.yahoo.com/north-carolina-voters-approve-same-sex-marriage-ban-224655287.html
Getting 2/3rds is difficult and especially is with the current make up of the House and Senate.
2/3rds of the States is 33 States though, that should be close to doable I’d say.
I wish I could agree on that point, but the facts say otherwise.
