The reason DOMA passed in 1996 was because there was not enough support for a constitutional amendment. There is surely less support now, sixteen years later.

There is much more support nationally now that people have seen what the courts have done to state initiatives across the country. I know the numbers, this has been a part of my life since 2000.

There is much more support nationally now

I believe that's true, but you need 290 Representatives and 67 Senators to send an amendment to the states, and that level of support is inconceivable to me for the foreseeable future.
