Because some conservatives believe the Constitution shouldn't be littered with ammendments to address every perceived ill.

Gay marriage is an issue that should be left for the states.

I tend to agree with them (DeLay & Dreier) on this. There is just too much to be done to get an amendment in the constitution.

Question: If there is a law is being broken, why isn't it enforced? Why wasn't the mayor of San Fran arrested? You know darn well if this was about someone getting a tad too close to an abortion clinic he/her butt would be in jail, pronto. What are the enforcers afraid of? Are the gay/leftist/liberals too loud & media-backed to fight?

This kind of naivete is why we lose. This is all happening in liberal states, where the state officeholders WON'T ENFORCE THE LAW. That's why we need a constitutional amendment. This is nasty game, politics. We can't play by the Marcus of Queensbury rules while the Rats kick us in the groin.

You are ignoring the U.S. Constitution's Full Faith and Credit Clause, which requires all other states to recognize a marriage in one state.

Massachusetts legalizing gay marriage forces all other states to recognize the gay marriage performed in that state, unless the U.S. Constitution is amended to avoid that result.
