Amending the US constitution is not going to happen. Amending the Mass constitution is more feasible. In the interim though there will be gay marriages and to the defense of marriage act. And even if Mass const. is amended some other state will pop up and eventually the SCOTUS will decide the const. of the D of M act. I suspect that they will find it unconst. So i hope that guys like david brooks and andrew sullivan are actually right in what they expect to happen because it seems inevitable. Mike

"Here's another option. Pass a resolution expressing the will of the legislature saying that they agree with 3 out of 7 judges, treat the 4's opinion as a suggestion, and do nothing." I am puzzled? What would actually achieved. The decision of the 4 judges still rule and the legislature would be in contempt, no?
