And just what is he suppose to do? Right now this is still a state issue and not a federal one.

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.

Actually it is in the Mass. legislatures court. This is a state issue for now. But what the hey you gotta be like Joe and bring in your animus towards the President into the fray somehow.

Why the President?

The ball is in the court of the Massachusetts Lavender Loving Judicial Court. It is up to the Massachusetts General Court (its state legislature), acting as a constitutional convention, to propose an amendment to the state constitution reversing the Judicial Court's idjit attack on civilization, to narrowly circumscribe the powers of the Judicial Court and subsidiary courts on such issues, and to allow for Romney to pack the court for now with n better reason than the lavender attack on marriage decision. Leave the ground where the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court once stood flat, black and glowing in the dark. Then it will be up to Romney to appoint sane judges to the seats. Meanwhile, until the constitutional amendment can be enacted and enforced (including the court packing), defy the court and refuse to obey its clearly ultra vires ruling. Make that court and appropriate example and a warning to courts everywhere that there ARE limits.

Now, that is the moderate solution. We can also get really angry and act accordingly. That has happened in Boston more than two hundred years ago.

One of the words in your above comment needs to be plural.

With all the big government spending by the Bush Administration, this might be his last chance to rally many in the base to take the time to vote for him. Immediate steps should be taken toward a Constitutional Ammendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

He is the PRESIDENT not a KING nor a Dictator. The only thing he can do is speak out against same sex marriage he has NO AUTHORITY to change the RULING.

Why, there is no federal issue here, not yet anyway. This is between the MA Courts and legislature, and eventually the Governor.

Are you referring to Mr. Elvis President, of 1414 Mockingbird Lane, Boston, Mass? This is a state issue. The Mass state legislature should fix their state constitution.

Why look to "W"? He won't sacrifice political capital for other important issues like campaign finance reform.

Why would he sacrifice any capital for the gay marriage issue?

The man we have as president is willing to sell out any constituancy. Don't people realize that yet?
