It will become a federal issue ANYWAY, when lawsuit, after lawsuit is appealed and eventually winds up in the hands of the SCOTUS.
Now tell me.
Who would you rather have decide this issue? The American people, or the courts?
I'd rather that our Constitution not be littered with ridiculous amendments to address the burning passions of the moment.
The United States is a Federal Republic! Each state should decide.
People who support this amendment are leading us down the slippery slope which will ultimately lead to the destruction of the Republic.
