Your last sentence shows how little you understand what Bush is about.
That's all I need to know. Next you'll be telling me to love Osama! Try selling that on a street corner in New York. Or Ohio.
I personally have a problem with judges dictating morality or immorality. For years now the left has pushed it's agenda through the courts rather than legislation.
That's how little you understand about the Constitutions. Federal and states. There are 3 branches of government last I looked. The courts are neither moral nor immoral. They rule on the constitutionality of the issue at hand. Apparently since the conservatives can't have their way they will now attempt to legislate their way.
Thank God for the courts. You can pass all the laws you want, that does not make them Constitutional.
between 1870 and 1884, eleven southern states legally banned miscegenation, or interracial marriages. In the words of historian William Cohen, these bans were the "ultimate segregation laws" in that they clearly spelled out the idea that whites were superior to blacks and that any mixing of the two threatened white status and the purity of the white race.
Many would be surprised to know that as recently as 1967 in many states it was illegal for a mixed race couple to be granted a marriage license. An even bigger surprise, given current debate over same sex marriages, is that when the U. S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of interracial marriage, Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote that the "freedom to marry or not marry a person of another race resides in that individual.'' Note that Warren wrote "person,'' and refers to "persons'' -- not man or woman -- throughout the opinion.
And supporters of same-sex marriage base their cases on the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, echoing the position the U.S. Supreme Court took when it declared miscegenation laws unconstitutional in the case of Loving v. Virginia.
Looks like a lot of editing is going to be done to the Constitution.
For those who understand no explanation is needed, ...For those who don't none will.
