It's the way it works for sure. Constitutional amendments to revise rights. Voting rights evolved from male land owners to all including blacks and women. Politicians responding to popular opinion driven to a great degree by minority interest groups.

Currently polls indicate over 50% and growing number of Americans support a constitutional change to allow same sex marriage.

Whether all agree or not we will be seeing a constitutional amendment to do so.
