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?

THAT type of libertardian thinking is what got us queer marriages AND the Supremes overturning bans on them in the first place.
