Bush calls for Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage

What a crock of crap. President Bush has called for a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. Let us take a few moments to understand the foundation of the United States of America: The Constitution.

1) The Constitution gives the federal government the power that the States do not exercise for themselves.

To the best of my knowledge every single state has enacted laws that regulate marriage.

2) Gay marriage is legal currently in the state of Massachusettes.

An amendment to the constitution which bans gay marriage would make the federal government force a State to bow to the all mighty big brother governnment.

3) In order to regulate marriage for the entire country the federal government would have to declare what constitutes a marriage.

How much government do you want in your religious ceremony? Or, is President Bush simply going to declare all religious ceremonies revolving around marriage as null and void?

4) No one expects it to pass.

The President and Congress have jobs. MAYBE THEY SHOULD ACTUALLY GET TO WORK. Let's see: The budget, the war in Iraq (dumb idea), the war in Afghanistan (I think they forgot about that), health care, education, unemployment, fuel dependency (that's oil/gas), did I mention the budget?
