It has been my contention for some time that each state needs to have a constitutional amendment defining marriage as only between one man and one woman. Without such an amendment, a state’s activist Supreme Court can overturn a law adopted by the legislature, declaring it to be unconstitutional.

The only way to stop another state’s judges from trumping the people’s elected representatives is to pass an amendment to that state’s constitution. Thirty states have already done this and are at least protected from the overreach of their state’s Supreme Court.

I mean I thought “Winger memories are about as long as a male gnats’ genital” was hyperbole, but now I’m beginning to wonder.

Why is he talking about state constitutional amendments? What happened to the holy grail of amendments, the Federal Marriage Amendment? That would instantly do away with all marriage equality laws across the land, and finally and once and for all, put every pro-gay activist judge in the country in their rightful place – forever beholden to the US anti-gay Constitution.

Or is he preparing for a reality in which that might not occur?

To repopularize it, maybe they could call it TFEMA, The Federal Emergency Marriage Amendment.

Their tagline could be: Call your congressman… while your marriage is still valid.

What a predicament he’s going to be in in 5 years when everything is still going along fine? —Brady

Umm, not really much of a predicament. Winger memories are about as long as a male gnats’ genital. They quickly look for the next boogyman or make one up out of whole cloth to trot out for alms. In a few years (decades?) the only thing left of resistance to gay rights will be some grumbling among a few die-hards. For the most part, after same-sex marriage becomes an accepted norm, these nut-cases will be out of a job or off to some other mischief.

Now that I think about it, I’m actually kind of looking forward to this. He’s basically promising the world as we know it will end. What a predicament he’s going to be in in 5 years when everything is still going along fine?

Be afraid, be very afraid!

Or not. What a homophobic farce!
