Brian Brown: If We Lose At SCOTUS, We’ll Force A Constitutional Amendment

“I think we’re going to win these cases. But say the worst happens and we
lose in a broad way – that means that the Court somehow does a Roe, a Roe v. Wade,
on marriage and says that all these state constitutional amendments are
overturned, gay marriage is now a constitutional right – well, we’re
going to press forward on a Federal Marriage Amendment. We’ve always
supported a Federal Marriage Amendment, and there’s a lot of
misconceptions about it. Some people try and argue, ‘Well, this is
against federalism.’ No, our founders gave us a system where we can
amend the Constitution.

“We shouldn’t have to do this, we shouldn’t have
to worry about activist judges, you know, making up out of thin air a
constitutional right that obviously none of our founders found there and
no one found there until quite recently. But if we do, for us, the
Federal Marriage Amendment is a way that people can stand up and say,
‘Enough is enough.’ We need a solution in this country, we cannot be, as
Lincoln said, half slave, half free. We can’t have a country on key
moral questions where we’re just, where we don’t have a solution. And if
the Court forces a solution, the way we’ll amend that is through  the
Federal Marriage Amendment.” – Hate group leader Brian Brown, quoted by Right Wing Watch.
