The last time I looked at the polling numbers the majority of American people were generally opposed to amending the Constitution for this. As a Christian I must admit I'm not all that sure that an amendment will help all that much.

Personally I think what might work better would be to come up with a way to curtail the federal judiciaries ability to make law from the bench instead of interpreting law on these kind of issues. The growing list of activist judges need their wings clipped and soon.

Don't ask ME how that would go about getting done but I have read enough to know that it supposedly can be done. Amending the Constitution is a fix for only one problem, whereas curtailing the activist judiciary would go a lot further and do a lot more to remedy many of our nations ills that these activist judges foist upon us.

Not just the federal. There are many State supreme court justices are also just as rotten, e.g., Massachussetts, Florida (can anyone say Election 2000?) and here in Minnesota (making state-funding of Abortion mandatory in direct defiance of the state law as one example)

.. The polling company, Mason-Dixon Political/Media Research Inc ... 61 percent would vote for constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage; 34 against such ... The rest of the polls can be dismissed as basically 'People for the American Way' communist-spun drivel.
