Ok, when are you guys going to start the bombing of San Francisco.

I guess that is the only thing that will make you all happy.

Sheesh this is a state issue and a Constitutional amendment has to be passed by 2/3rd's of both houses and then 3/4's of the states and the president has nothing to do with it.

You know that the mayor of San Francisco is not going to be arrested and this will be going through the courts and the 9th circus in San Francisco will side with the mayor, especially with all the Clinton and Carter appointees on that court.

Oh that's right you two show your anger at Bush, rather than the real culprit the mayor.

With "friends" like you two, who needs enemies.

C'mon, Dane, you can come up with a better strawman in that fey, affectatious way of yours.

Then why is he commenting at all on the matter?
While it's true that the President has no official role in the Amendment process, what he, and we, are discussing is his role as Head of State, and his occupation of the Bully Pulpit. The President, as slow as he's been in forumlating it, at least understands that he needs to respond to the attack on marriage, and that he has a role.

With friends like us, who needs yes-men and yes-posters?
The Mayor of San Francisco is one of many culprits who have been massing themselves for the assault on marriage for years. It was inevitable, once Lawrence v. Tesxas was handed down, that a life or death battle in the Culture Wars would be fought preserving the insitution of marriage.
So, no, the President doesn't get a pass; he needs to roll up his sleeves and fight.
