Well hate most recently won. And it is a handful of states away from letting an amendment like this actually pass nationwide.Hate lost, get over it children.
In order for the U.S. Congress to call a convention for the amendment, at least two-thirds of the 50 states must propose the same amendment to define marriage as only between one man and one woman.
Good luck with that, idiots.

It's certainly not impossible, but in 2017, I don't see that to still be the case.Well hate most recently won. And it is a handful of states away from letting an amendment like this actually pass nationwide.

Was pleasantly surprised by the Arkansas comments this time. Everyone telling him to focus on other shit, quit wasting our tax dollars, who cares what gender people are if they want to get married, etc....

Oh fuck off
The positivist in me says hate didn't win perse, it just struck back really really hard for the time being

Certainly not 2017, but I don't think there is a real time limit to these things.It's certainly not impossible, but in 2017, I don't see that to still be the case.

Republicans might only need two more state legislatures to meet that condition, though I guess it's not a given that every republican controlled legislature would pass it, and there are some other legal arguments that would need to be decided for if state laws forcing a public vote on constitutional amendments is constitutional.
Either way, it's way too close for comfort.

And Jason Rapert's typically not far away from a lot of that shit. He's basically our own little mini-Trump. Can't take criticism and reads Breitbart and everything.Christ, it's like everything that comes out of Arkansas at this point is just vile shit.

More than a handful, considering you need to get 3/4ths of the states to ratify it. Even with the control Republicans have over statehouses, with nationwide support of gay marriage a solid majority it'd be a pointless and fruitless fight to have for them.

We had Johnny Cash and the man who had a sex scene with Ms. Halle Berry aka Billy Bob Thorton. Also me.
But we did invent Wal-Mart though. We got a monopoly that people don't know about.

I get that the newly formed United States didn't want big states to push around smaller ones, but this is the end result-- backward-ass state governments trying to dial back the clock on human rights. To be fair, that's why we got the system in the first place. So I guess it works as devised.
I love my country but god do I hate some of my countrymen.

I hope they enjoy being viewed as bigots for the rest of their lives then.

Fuck off. I doubt it'd pass though.
I guarantee it wouldn't pass. Constitutional Amendments on anything even vaguely controversial are a pipe dream.

That's because Republicans still don't have enough state governments (they need 38). But as soon as they get them, it's time to put all this shit into the constitution.
I would have worried about them getting control of 38 states if Hillary had won, but the GOP controls all the branches, they don't have any scape goats anymore to drum up support during elections, and everything they do is motivating the opposition. GOP has no chance of getting a 38 state majority.That's because Republicans still don't have enough state governments (they need 38).

Lol yeah this won't happen. Most people either approve of gay marriage or really don't care enough to want this. In fact I would argue that this is a waste of time and money by the government because gay marriage literally effects no one except allowing gays to marry. What a bunch of stupid assholes. If they can't even get Obamacare repealed they have no chance of this ever happening.
