Re: 30
First, there are several states that either rejected a marriage amendment by popular vote or actually voted ‘gay marriage’ in...

I did not check the records - but this is probably something that happened in the last few years. Up until a few years ago, there was an unbeaten string of popular votes rejecting 'homosexual marriages' (there is no such a thing). So I should amend my previous statement from: 'all popular votes in the States have rejected homosexual marriages' to 'the vast majority of popular votes in the States have rejected homosexual marriages'.

I understand that the trend is not healthy - but as you noted, even California recently passed a Proposition defining a marriage as between one man and one woman. The fact that they found a Sodomite Judge in San Francisco to over rule the will of the people does not change the fact that 'even California' even at this late of a decayed condition - understands that homosexual liaisons are not marriage.

There are many more states that passed their amendments in the 70%+ ranges who would be a long way away from repealing their amendments with another popular vote. But there are a smaller number of states that only passed theirs in the 50%-low60% ranges in the middle of the last decade that would probably be vulnerable now to repeal. To the state, defining marriage only takes 50% +1 vote. But I don’t think they will bother if the folks in black robes keep striking them down.
