That sounds cohesive. It would stop the complaints of the Federalists as well ^_^. The whole point with me and the Federal Marriage Ammendment is to stop the activism within the U.S. Supreme Court. Do you think they would take individual states Constitutional Ammendments to the Supremes to have them outlaw them as being against the U.S. Constitution?

Most likely the activists are going to sue no matter what. Nebraska has the toughest Constitutional Amendment in the nation defending marriage. It says: Only marriage between a man and a woman shall be valid or recognized in Nebraska . The uniting of two persons of the same sex in a civil union, domestic partnership, or other similar same-sex relationship shall not be valid or recognized in Nebraska.

The activists have already taken Nebraska to Federal Court over the Amendment.

What individual State Consitutional Amendment do however, is tie the hands of Individual State courts from becoming activists and throwing out statutes that defend marriage.
