I don't see ANYONE on here arguing where it breaks the Constitution. I do however, see people calling voters names, talking about voters ignorance and so on.

In order for something to be "unconstitutional" it has to break a law or laws in the Constitution... no one has yet told me what law or laws it breaks. Thus, until that happens this is nothing more than people crying and wanting their way.

As for "only 52% voted for it"...... ummm how many states did Obama or McCain win by a margin less? How many laws have been passed by the same or lesser margin in Congress.

The big question is if you agreed with this bill and someone started calling the voters names or started stating support for it to be settled in courts even though they have no clue and couldn't tell you what basis they have to fight the law's constitutionality..... what would you say?

So either the voters are always stupid or they aren't which is it? Can't have it both ways. The system we have is a system of faults but it is the best system that has ever existed. Whether the majority agrees with your "views" or not.

Now, we have a true argument.

What rights does it violate? Don't need to give me all 1,138... tell me 5 rights that it violates, where people are not treated with equal protection.
Where did anyone say the voters are stupid? And last I checked, a president isn't elected forever and is still bound by the constitution, whereas an amendment to a state's constitution can be there forever, unless someone challenges it's constitutionality.

As far as you not seeing "anyone" arguing where it breaks the constitution, I refer you to posts

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/tilted-...ml#post2747603 (where the basis of the lawsuit is explained)

and

where the whole thing is spelled out in detail.

As to what rights are being denied, this post has several of them:
