Really?  Is there a serious attempt to pass such an amendment?

Maybe I'm just revealing my ignorance of how these things work, but 
I would have imagined that the Supreme Court would block it (or 
don't they have the power?) on the grounds that it's an attempt to 
define 'marriage' rather than a genuine addition to the Constitution.
