If you could reason with religious people there'd be no religious people. -House
A couple of years ago, a Republican committee staff director told me candidly (and proudly) what the method was to all this obstruction and disruption. Should Republicans succeed in obstructing the Senate from doing its job, it would further lower Congress’s generic favorability rating among the American people. By sabotaging the reputation of an institution of government, the party that is programmatically against government would come out the relative winner. -Mike Lofgren, 28 years as a staffer on the Republican House and Senate budget and other committees, often dealing with national security and defense issues

I answered this question in one of the gun threads. The Constitution does not give absolute rights to anyone. Citizens forfeit their rights to own a gun when they break the law and are convicted, so the 2nd Amendment does not give an absolute right as a blanket amendment for gun ownership.
They can't even get gay marriages approved in the most liberal state in the country, California.
The individual states are allowed to pass legislation for their state according to the 10th Amendment-
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people.
