Nice idea.....lip service.....will never get ratified....

We have one. It is what they used to justify it.

Well, at least ONE person is suggesting this. What happened to the multitude of “libertarians” who said we could just willy-nilly pass a constitutional amendment if courts went too far?

No where to be found, it seems.

Exactly right. And he just gave his political enemies plenty of fodder to use against him. Fodder that 67% of the country supports. He acted poorly today. Gay marriage - and that’s what it is - is here to stay.

I'm not the biggest Scott Walker fan, I prefer Ted Cruz, by a lot, that being said, I call B.S. on that post of yours.

This was the correct response and the correct goal, whether or not YOU think it will get ratified.

I'd bet if someone had said something similar about slavery in 1776, many would have stated the same pessimistic reply.

I think that there’s a good chance of it getting ratified by the state legislatures of 3/4 of the states (i.e., 38 states); where it would have very slim odds of success is in getting 2/3 of the House and Senate to approve the amendment and send it to the states in the first place.

We could have gotten 2/3 of the House and Senate back in 1998 or so to adopt a Marriage Amendment banning judicially created same-sex marriage, but John McCain and some others said that it “wasn’t necessary” because we had DOMA. F’in morons.

Even if it were ratified,, the Roberts court would declare the constitution to be “Unconstitutional”.
