Ok, say it is a dead certainty. At what point do we stop amending the Constitution to make absolutely sure that some state might pass a law that allows people to mess up their lives? Like radar detectors. They are illegal in some states, legal in others. Shouldn't the laws be more uniform? And so on... The effect of radar speed enforcement and radar detectors is entirely intra-state. I might agree to the idea of just leaving everything up to the states as part of a more general move to have more decisions decided by the state. That is really what the constitution calls for anyway. But on this issue, and many other social issues (such as abortion) that might require a constitutional amendment. If you have states some states decide to recognize homosexual marriages and other states and the feds don't you would have a lot of lawsuits trying to force the feds or other states to recognize the "marriages", and grant benefits. An amendment might be the only way to control the situation. Tim
