He said if the U.S. Supreme Court strikes down the Defense of Marriage Act or "state remedies to judicial activism fail," then amending the federal Constitution might be "appropriate."

There is no doubt that activist judges will strike down the DOMA. The timing for a constitutional amendment will come when this happens then repubs can make this a state's rights issue. Either that or the SC will hear it......I'm sure opponents will take that route. Not my preference btw.

Interesting that McCain didn't mention whether his constituents oppose same sex marriage.....I guess it's a little early for that debate. -g-

I'm sure he.....and every congressman.....will be running home when the current session ends to find out.

Thanks for the clarification.
