Surf, I agree with you about the federal government having too much power.

But I don't want to see a constitutional amendment limiting marriage to straight couples. To me, that's a perfect example of government overreaching its authority. From a ideological standpoint, I don't think ANY government, federal or state, has a compelling interest in limiting marriage. As I wrote in the Janet/Justin thread, it's not government's job to enforce someone's idea of morality.

What do you think of the idea of privatizing marriage, which I've also brought up before?
