As long as democrats are in charge of any form of government there will never be a marriage amendment even proposed, unless the amendment said anyone could "marry" anyone or anything they felt like "marrying". Marriage between a man and woman being made the law of the land will never happen. The US Supreme Court has seen to that.

Sigh, I suppose you're right. Sad, innit?
I wouldn't want to be in THEIR shoes when they meed their Maker.

It was needed about 10 years ago but critics said it was not necessary. We had the DOMA. States had their rights.

What a joke that turned out to be.

And just what defines a man as a man and a woman as a woman?

Genitalia alone? Number of X vs Y chromosomes? Length of ring finger? Adam's apple? How you were born? How your genitals appear now? How you spell your name?

Tagline is the means; Ted Cruz has the right approach.

Just occurred to me that maybe Obama’s being blackmailed to issue those statements. Oh well, interesting to see how Kansas & South Carolina SSM appeals turn out, now that Puerto Rican judge has so pointedly ruled.

Unfortunately, too late. It would never pass.

It's not just too late; the amendment would be irrelevant given the lawless behavior of America's enemies. The real problem is FedGov ignores the Constitution, and states defer to FedGov even when that entity strays outside the Enumerated Powers. The rulings in favor of gay "marriage" have no basis in the Constitution, so changing that Constitution would not limit their actions. What we need to do is chop FedGov way back - aggressively cut it down to the size authorized by Articles 1-4 of the Constitution.

In addition to that, we must as states, as local governments, within our churches and other groups, and as individuals resist unconstitutional actions by FedGov with such energy that freedom's enemies give up on their current lines of attack. The thugs will give up if it gets too hard. They'll launch a new and different attack, but even changing their mode of attack is a victory if we can deprive them of the current FedGov's power.

Question - why is government involved at all? When government began giving tax breaks to married couples, and folks accepted it because it encouraged families (did it really or would families have continued to occur even without the tax advantage?), we gave them the power to decree more about marriage.God had edicted that it will continue to get worse before Jesus returns to set things right - I believe Him and understand that we waste much time and energy fighting the inevitable when we could better spend the time and effort in carrying the Word vs. railing at what is going wrong.

There has been no uproar amongst the churches...No uproar with the general population...Republicans won't even mess with this issue...
