"It will be without a Fed amendment."

There is some disagreement on this among republicans. Lynne Cheney doesnt think so. It all rides on whether there will be an exception made for states who adopted defense of marriage act. mike

PS but you are right marriage is doomed. But then again maybe committed gay couples will give it new life and new meaning. Heteros have screwed it up big time already.

I expect no amendment to ever be passed, and for the slow erosion of marriage to continue.

It's actually the expansion of marriage, not the erosion because it includes folk who wish to marry but who have been forbidden to. That's why the amendment would make the serious mistake of inscribing discrimination in the constitution.
