Republicans All But Concede Failure of Marriage Amendment

To pre-election politics in the United States now where Republicans in the US Senate have all but conceded they will not succeed in their efforts to ban 'gay' marriage. But while they may fail to win a constitutional ban in the Congress, their efforts appear to have succeeded already in firing up the religious conservative voting block so important to President George W. Bush's re-election prospects. And the Senate Majority Leader, Bill Frist, says the issue of gay marriage will not go away.

Flashbacks
Bush Played Major Role In Attack On Marriage
A current CitizenLink newsletter put out by Dobson's ministry states that President Bush has proclaimed Oct. 12-18 to be Marriage Protection Week. While that has a nice ring to it, most unsuspecting Christians who read that must think, " Wow, President Bush is such an upstanding Christian". Knowing that the president has endorsed the homosexual lifestyle and at the same time says he wants to protect marriage gives him a bit of a credibility problem with me and it should to anyone else who considers himself or herself a Christian. ('Be not deceived!' I Corinthians 6:9-10)

The Marriage Amendment - Another Trojan Horse
There are many movements that are commendable. Who could argue about trying to save marriage? But this marriage amendment is not only a bad idea; it is a scary Trojan horse. Just like our government to create a crisis in the family then use our ignorance against us to pretend to fix it. Most of the policy of the government for the last 50 years has been detrimental to the family, and now they want to be our friend.

Controlling the Court
"Why blame bad constitutional law on the Constitution? The problem is the courts, not the failure of the Framers to envisage every possible abuse of their handiwork. Must we amend the Constitution every time a Kennedy twists it to mean something it manifestly doesn’t mean? Besides, the sodomy ruling wouldn’t be reversed by putting a definition of marriage into the Constitution; on the contrary, such an amendment would presuppose its legitimacy. There has to be a better response."

The Remedy: Impeachment
'Defending Marriage' Does Nothing About the Reprobate Problem
Conservatives were outraged by the Court’s ruling, and some want to amend the U.S. Constitution to define marriage before the Court gets funny ideas about same-sex unions. But why? The problem isn’t the Constitution. It’s the Court. There is a simpler remedy than changing the Constitution every time the Court usurps power or, worse, changing it to prevent possible future usurpations. It’s called impeachment.
