    Do you think that .............

    Do you think that the Gay bill against gay marriage wil pass?

    I am fearful that this is coming from our President and leads me to wonder what other things he has planned?

    I would like to agree with Bishop that it's a cover tactic. Something to get on the front page in order to distract us from other things.

    Do I think it's going to happen? There are so many in the capitol who are fired up about this that they are going to try.

    Now, if what I have read and heard is true the document that is underconsideration is written in such a way that it is SO discriminatory that I can not imagine it would fair well in the Supreme Court. Thankfully the president alone can not make laws or issue ammendments. And even with a full Congressional support behind him, we will still have the Supreme Court.

    My two cents...

    Pure smokescreen tactics.
    I think it has significantly more of a chance of failing than passing. 2/3s of a House and Senate - both - is quite a number to reach. Especially on something so controversial. Even a great many Republicans cringe at the thought of amending the Constitution and taking something out of the hands of individual states and placing it in to the realm of federal policy.
    Then, the 38 states required to ratify it for passage is a hefty number as well. States really aren't inclined to hand matters of their own jurisdiction off to the federal government.

    That being said, I think this whole mess, though less than likely to end up in ratification and amending, will most certainly result in some deep divisions being drawn through American society. This will become an impassioned debate that fires up emotions on both sites and will result in a whole lot of Americans hating a whole lot of other Americans.

    That's the true tragedy here.

    I agree with you BD, I hope Mr. Bush feels good about that fact that he singlehandedly caused the whole country entrusted to his care to be devided so strongly and caused so many such heartache.

    I'm sorry, but this, added with the rest of the debacles he's orchestrated in office, should be reason enough to vote him out. I’m Canadian so I don’t get to vote, but I hope everyone south of the border does the right thing come poll time!
