It's an Onion picture from awhile back. It's the U.S. Constitution with white out and a permanent market taken to it. It's a bit sardonic but I like it for posts regarding constitutional amendments.

It strikes me that the anti-marriage forces have far more to lose than us with this election

They could argue that it's immoral. However, whether voters think that homosexuality is immoral varies greatly among the states. I think they are also trying to say that if voters think its immoral, then they have every right to vote against gay marriage.

The scenario you present is a very interesting one, and I've also been anticipating it for awhile. Here's to hoping that come November, we'll have our very first situation in which most major arguments against same-sex marriage will be completely irrelevant! I just wonder what they will come up with when that happens, though...

I posted that. If you check the second link (which is where I got the previous post from), it talks about what a stark difference it is to an earlier poll.

This polling firm is typically more credible than the LA Times, it seems.
