If you had to pick one of these amendments...

I suppose if I were forced to choose between two of the most perfectly hare-brained ideas I have ever encountered, I would pick the Federal Marriage Amendment. As you know, I personally oppose same-sex marriage for the havoc it will wreak upon the cultural independence upon the gay community, and while I believe the choice to marry rests with the individual, I don't think ratifying the FMA would quite be the Gotterdammerung (Sorry, have no idea how to type an umlaut. Guess that'll be a problem if I need to type a trema as well.) that many suggest it will be. Besides, a social consensus could probably bring about its repeal in twenty years. However, the Liberty Amendment would be an almost immediate disaster, bringing about the collapse of centuries of advance in the theory of federalism.

Which man, Bono?

I suppose I should. By the way, put a hyphen between two words used as one modifier.
