White House waffling
By Phil Lawler (bio - articles ) | July 02, 2003 3:28 PM
President Bush has declined to support a constitutional amendment protecting marriage, explaining, "I don't know if it's necessary yet." (The Washington Post has the details of the story.)
Not necessary yet?!
And suppose tomorrow the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts rules that the state must recognize the "marriage" of same-sex couples. (It could happen; that court's decision is due any day now on a crucial test case.) Then will it be time for action on the federal level? How long should we wait?

I doubt that we shall ever have a President exactly "tailored" to our liking. Right now, we have the best we can have. Surely you did not want Al. Better to have 80% of a pie, than none at all. Bush is doing his best. Let's continue to work with him, to support him.

Please lay off the President. If you do not, we'll end up with another demon-possessed "Clinton" in the White House, appointing pro-abort fanatics to the Courts. We need to look beyond the merely "immediate."

I pray that he reconsiders. He's got to spend that political capital somewhere and this looks like a good place to start.

It seems that the President has suddenly lost his moral conscience. I am extremely frustrated with the chicken-hearted conservatives that refuse to jeopardize themselves on any moral issues (aside from Santorum - God bless him). Meanwhile, history will show that they were in office as one moral building block after another crumbled, leading to another downfall of a great civilization. Is there anyone with the courage to be a hero and stand for truth no matter what?
