Prop 8 Protest Information Thread

[Alex]

Which 38 states do you see passing a gay right amendment to the constitution? I'd be amazed if you could get 15, let alone 38 (and an amendment would never get out of congress without a kill switch so you couldn't let it sit for 190 years like we did the 27th Amendment).

Or, to even get to that point, which 66 senators and 288 congressman? Even if the Democrats votes unanimously in favor of such an amendment (and they wouldn't) they're nowhere close the the threshhold.

No, the only chance any time soon for full secured equality for gays is if the US Supreme Court decides that it is already there in the constitution. Just as there is no way we'd pass such an amendment I think it is probably (though we just got bit in the ass on that assumption, didn't we) true that an amendment to reverse the USSC probably wouldn't get anywhere either.
