Bush's push for an amendment against gay marriageOkay...
1. "Ages of experience have taught us that the commitment of a husband and a wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society."
You mean like Brintany Spears's 55 hour marriage? Because god knows how sacred that was.
2. Even if I were against Gay marriage (Which I am not), I would have an endlessly long list of more important things to worry about. Like, starving/dying children in Iraq, dying soldiers, and American economy turning to shit. I couldn't care less if Bob and Dave get married!!!! Jesus Christ, people. Look at the news and fucking tell me what's more of an issue???
3. This is not at all what the mechanism of constitutional amendment was designed for. I'm no expert in US history or political theory, but I think this point is simple enough. Changes to the Constitution were allowed so that the Constitution could change with the times. but, the intention was that making a change would be a difficult process so that stupid, inappropriate and pointless amendments couldn't be just thrown in because some Texas dickface in the White House happened to be faking Christian fundamentalism for the purpose of faking moral integrity. In other words... constitutional amendments are serious business... not to be sought so lightly.
