That's why an Amendment that at least bars the judiciary from getting involved would be a solid victory. It would then mean that any change would risk incurring the wrath of voters.

And this must be done simply with a marriage amendment. Have a simple definition "matrimonial union between one man and one woman only." and leave the rest--age, determinations of the definition of 'justice-of-the-peace', et al--to the states.

I believe most of the postings are missing the points of the article which are these: "Is marriage the foundation of a free society? Does the concept of the transition from marriage to representative government postulated by Locke provide natural restrictions upon the government and security of liberty?"

I would be interested in a response to these questions.
