Could the Federal Marriage Amendment have passed?

Is there any way that the Federal Marriage Amendment could be ratified after the 1990s?

You would have to have the Supreme Court do a premature Obergefell around 2005, which is very unlikely. Even then, it would be hard to get the amendment passed because people opposed to such a decision would be divided between those who wanted to ban SSM throughout the country and those who simply wanted to return the power to determine the issue to the states.
