If Pres. Bush doesn't support stopping this slide into Sodomite Hell via a Constitutional amendment, he doesn't deserve to be President, and say hello to Pres. Kerry.

Do you feel ever so cool saying that knee jerk little statement?

Congress is the body who sets the constitutional amenmdment bandwagon going. The President has nothing to do with it.

But you already knew that.

The president has absolutely no Constitutional role to play in this issue at all. The president may not propose a Constitutional amendment (unlike other legislation), nor is his signature required anywhere in the process of ratification.

To the extent that this is a federal issue, it will first be played out at the Supreme Court, and then, ultimately in Congress.

Presumably the President could move in troops to make sure Massachusetts is guaranteed a Republican Form of Government, but isn't it the job of the State legislature to remove judges when they do this sort of thing and get new judges who won't!

Seven years tomahawk. That's what it takes to ammend the Constitution. Something has to be done in the meantime, I'm not sure what, but something does have to be done. Wonder how long it takes to throw a state out of the US?
