He’s speaking the hard cold truth here, like it or not. You really need overwhelming majorities to pass an amendment, and it doesn’t exist. I’ve said the same basic thing, when candidates talk about an amendment they are just pretending to be doing something about it. If Congress was serious they would simply pass legislation limiting the Supreme Court’s jurisdiction per Article III. But they won’t. In any case the president has zero to do with passing constitutional amendments.

I just want a president who will work within his constitutional means to do what he can as a mortal man.

Let’s face it—the country’s in a tailspin. What good would it do for Trump (or any other candidate) to get caught in the weeds on gay marriage right now? Gay marriage is a MSM trap for any conservative candidate in the general. There are far more pressing issues to deal with at the moment.
