Peggy Noonan to GOP: It’s Not Possible To Amend Constitution on Gay Marriage

DICKERSON: “Peggy, should Republicans be talking about this at length on the stump as they run for president?”
 

NOONAN: “They will be talking about it because they will be asked about it so certainly in the next few weeks, that is true. I think they're also going to have to address the question of there is a cleavage between those who say, all right, this is settled or appears to be settled and those who say, no, a constitutional amendment is possible. Look, is it possible? We know where public opinion is and where it is going. It is not possible. So are Republicans going to go off chasing a rabbit they'll never be able to catch? More fruitfully, I think, Republicans can look at the real issue mentioned in all the dissents of SCOTUS, the real issue of religious liberty, whether or not it is going to be under siege and whether those who disagree with the court's ruling on same-sex marriage are going to come under great pressure to get with the program. That will be important.”
