Why We Must Have a Marriage Amendment

Do we need a Constitutional Amendment that defines marriage as being only between one man and one woman? Arguments against it include mainly 3 or 4 points.
1.Interference in federalism. It is argued that Federal and State laws already make court-ordered nationwide same-sex marriage unlikely (key word)for the “foreseeable future.” A Constitutional amendment would be intruding on the founding fathers’ commitment to federalism in an area traditionally reserved for state regulation – family law.
2.An amendment would override states’ rights to decide this issue
3.Opponents will prevail without an amendment
4.We shouldn’t tamper with the Constitution.

These arguments are weak in the face of Judicial Activism. I don’t have to convince anyone that our courts have become more and more activist in recent years. Regardless of states rights, an activist Supreme Court will most certainly rule that if marriage is legal in one state, it should be honored in all 50 states. It’s only a matter of time before some homosexual “couple” (and I use that term loosely) will get “married” in Massachusetts and then move to another state that has voted in a State Marriage amendment and sue for recognition of their union.
As far as “tampering” with the Constitution, our Founding Fathers could never have imagined this even being an issue – as one of the first acts of Congress was to fund the printing and sending of Bibles out with missionaries to the Native Indian population.
If you are a Christian, and you’ve not already contacted your representative, then shame on you. Get off your apathy and make your voice known. American is fast approaching the point of no return.
