Dear President Bush,

Your constitutional amendment is probably not going to pass, but thanks bunches for making sure future generations can look at the history books and have official verification you're a hateful, ignorant homophobe.

Sincerely,

Me

You make an excellent point and you stated it well. All Bush has said is that he will support such an ammendment, it still takes the people and the states to make it law. Some states already have such a law, including California, and polls on the topic regularly come out with the majority of people opposing gay marriage, and the number is rising, not falling.

Opposing gay marriage, but not supporting the amendment. Support for the amendment drops daily.

The majority of Americans may, according to polls, oppose gay marriage, but the majority has been wrong time and time again. That's basic history.

Look at it this way, they want a Constitional Amendment because that will stop any judge, city, municipality or state from challenging them.

That is to say, they know, as with the Texas Sodomy Law case, if the Supreme Court has to look at their laws and weigh them againt Equal Protection, they will lose.

So, basically, the Constitution protects gays and they want to strip that protection away. Is that really what we want to use that document for?
