The fact that the national government is using the amendment system to take away civil and states rights is ironic. The reason that the Constitution even had the original "Bill Of Rights" is because the individual states were afraid of a big federal government that would take away their civil and states rights and would not ratify it in it's original form. Now, it's gotten to the point where they're using that same amendment process to slowly chip away at those same civil and states rights. It doesn't matter what issue it is, as soon as the government gets their foot in the door by taking over rights/laws initially allotted to the states, it's bad news.
