What's better: to attempt the thing that is absolutely the right thing to do, but almost impossible to do, or to do the thing that is absolutely doable, but not as right?

Specifically (obviously): should US cities be throwing off the yoke of state law and marrying same-sex couples (the right thing to do), or should they wait so as to not accidentally encourage a discriminatory constitutional amendment, but in doing so continue to discriminate themselves?

Philosophers, attack!

You're arguing two different things there though. If the argument is states' rights, then the federales need to butt out, and cities (though they may be pushing buttons) are irrelevant, legally speaking. But yes, there is a worry of anarchy because if cities start ignoring laws when they're discriminatory, eventually we'll all have equalityanarchy and we certainly don't want that.

Just playing devil's advocate.

Ahhhhnie was on the news saying that cities ignoring laws will eventually lead to violence, riots, and death. Clearly (this part is not a quote) equal marriage equals death. :)
