If he would not defend marriage after the SCOTUS says same sex marriages are not okay, then I will leave.

Why can't you take his approach and wait and see on this. Let's not go nuts yet.

If necessary, an amendment will be put forward, hopefully including a limitation on SCOTUS power as well.

I expect to see action on this post '04 election cycle. Dubya will have a much freer hand with this sort of thing in his second term. I'd say what he's doing right now is simply keeping the homosexual lobby confused, while giving the socialists as little ammunition on this issue as possible.
