: Basically President Bush wants to put in an amendment to our Constitution banning gay marriage, thus legalizing discrimination against gay people. It's a horrible precedent to set.
We need to stop focusing on this. You aren’t going to see an Amendment for ANYTHING in the near future, LET ALONE something as divided as same-sex marriage. The precedent you're worried about being set will never be. Other than the fact that our President actually said such a thing, there is no reason to put undue weight on the words "wants to add an Amendment."
Because trust me, in your lifetime, you have a better chance of buying a summer home on Mars than seeing an Amendment to the Constitution.
