For what possible purpose? The Supreme Court justices are all appointed by presidents and confirmed by the Senate both of which are controlled by the Republicans.

The Court handed down this decision based on solid constitutional principle and nothing more.

Well then, how is it that some on this Board claim that President Bush was appointed by the Supreme Court?

The Whitehouse has been silent because it is a contreversial issue and this is an election year. The Bush base cares deeply about this issue because they believe that thre really is a homosexual agenda that involves "converting" school children to the gay lifestyle. But Bush has to use rely on Frist and Santorum to address this to the base because he is now shooting for the Independent and moderate vote. Did you think that suddenly they were addressing prescription drug benefits as a coincidence.

This has all been very well scripted. When Santorum spoke out comparing gays to pedophiles and perverts I guarantee you that that was ok'd by Rove. Thats why Bush only released statement calling Santorum "a very inclusive man". They saw the writing on the wall and wanted to get ahead of the decision. Frist had approval from the Whitehouse to make the statement voicing support for the Constitutional amendment banning "gay" marriage. This all done to throw a bone to the Evangelical base while still playing it up to the middle.

I saw Bush on the news last night state he would support a constitutional amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
