Careful Curly, Arnold wants to be The Prezinater and that would require changing the Constitution. 2 birds with 1 sledgehammer.

It would not ban gay marriage.  It would simply define legal marriage as a union between a single MAN and a single WOMAN.

The gay folk would call it a ban.  I would call it a clarification.  The states would still be allowed, and as I understand it, encouraged to create laws protecting the rights of gay couples.

You may be right dinger.  When is a constitutional convention required?

Bush can get the votes in Congress... though he'll have a tough time getting it ratified by 2/3 of the states.

It's amaizing how the Right Wing get all up set about what other people do in the privacy of their own homes... and what status other people have between themselves and society.

Conservatives are a bunch of noisy busy bodies!

At the same time they love their music, TV shows, fashion, and all kinds of other things that gay people create and contribute to in American society.

It's nice to have second class citizenry.. isn't it.

Heck perhaps Bush can even get women's vote and civil rights admendments revoked....

Fascism is still alive.

Funny how the lefties think that a judge defying state law by marrying homosexuals is an example of healthy democracy.

Homosexuals have the exact same marriage rights as everyone else.  They have the right to marry a member of the opposite sex.

ra


you do understand how this country was founded, and the principles of fighting for freedom on which it was based right ra?
Or are you just another ditto head that is crying for a nanny state to make sure all the people stop sinning against the bibble? Well if so you better start getting stores to ban pork and shellfish. Maybe a constitutional admendment is in order.

From Curly's link:

It is interesting to note that at no point does the President have a role in the formal amendment process (though he would be free to make his opinion known). He cannot veto an amendment proposal, nor a ratification.

So let's all pile on Bush for expressing his opinion. :rolleyes:  I oughta sic the ACLU on you guys for trying deny free speech here. They're chompin' at the bit waitin' for me to say go.
