Making amends for marriage law

Only once in 217 years have we allowed a purely social/personal-morality issue to sneak into the U.S. Constitution. That also was the only time that we used the Constitution to take away the personal freedom of Americans. The occasion was Prohibition. We ratified the 18th Amendment in 1919, which outlawed "intoxicating liquors." We came to our senses and repealed the 18th with another amendment, the 21st, which was ratified in 1933. The 18th and 21st amendments will remain as part of the document for all time, a pair of bookends bracketing a spasm of short-term foolishness. They look silly sitting there with all
