Since my pathetic state of MO has passed the We Hate Gays Amendment
should the Dems now start pushing for an amendment to ban Infidelity?

"The Infidelity Amendment...saving the sanctity of marriage nationwide."

"If you don't support it, you hate marriage."

3. We're protecting the "sanctity" of marriage
So I demand that we ban divorce and interracial marriage via constitutional amendment as well. After all, there are religious bases for doing so...therefore, it's our duty.

</sarcasm>

18. This is a damn good idea
This may be sarcasm but I think you have damn good idea here. I would love to see them flutter and sputter if someone started a movement on banning divorce. lol

4. After the elections, absolutely
But THIS cannot be the election year issue. We have too many far more important things to deal with, and this is not a popular issue for us. Just drop it for now, and we'll deal with it when the adults are back in charge.

5. Don't worry
I'll be able to stand in opposition with you in November after Georgia's "We hate gays too" squad votes. At least, we'll have our convictions.
As a hetero, I just don't understand why people can't live and let live.

6. Sad to say, MO won't be the only state with such a law fairly soon...
...sad country that we live in.

7. How about an amendment to ban divorcing your spouse
on his/her deathbed. Make it retroactive and put Newt Gingrich in prison.

8. Yes...
... I too was saddened, but I fear, come November, we won't be the only ones to have put bigotry into their State Constitution.

At least Holden kept it out of the General Election.

9. Actually they passed the "If gays can marry, my wife will leave me for
another woman" amendment...unfortunately, California defined marriage as between a man and a woman 8 years ago....it isn't as though blue states are more evolved on this point.

11. How about the "Sex Only For Procreation" Amendment"?
How about the "Smite He Who Spills His Seed" Amendment?

How about the "Thou Shalt Not Suffer A Witch To Live" Amendment?

Perhaps the "Stone Disobedient Children" Amendment would restore the moral fiber of this backsliding, hellbound state!!

15. You'd think that Newt, and Rush, and all those "marriage supporters"...
...would want an amendment to ban divorce. Waitaminnut.

Never mind.

16. We don't need the FMA because STATES ARE BIGOTED ENOUGH!
That was the argument I understood from the Senate discussion on FMA. Senator Feinstein was one that propounded this argument... and I guess she is correct.
