Jun 7: Finally some sense from the US

A week ago, George W Bush proposed a motion to ban same sex marriages to Congress, the  was to amend the constitution to make same sex marriages illegal. Luckily it didn't get past the first hurdle. only 48 senators voted for it, there is a requirement to have 60 to allow the motion to be carried forward.
President George W Bush had backed the ban, saying marriage between a man and a woman was the most fundamental institution of civilisation.
Quite frankly I don't know where the stupid prat gets the motion that the requirement of a Man & a Women was the best for a child's up keep and support. How about all those single parents, Male or female? What's more important is that the child has an emotionally secure home, we they a protected and helped to learn to survive, protected from abuse, some husband and wife relationships don't offer either...
Mr Bush recently said: "Ages of experience have taught us that the commitment of a husband and a wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society."

"An amendment to the constitution is necessary because activist courts have left our nation with no other choice."

A constitutional amendment needs two-thirds support in both the House and the Senate. A similar measure was defeated in 2004.
I like the line, Ages of Experience... I think his parents were OK, but I don't think that the Bush family can lecture us on producing stable children, after all, didn't George get involved with booze and drugs as a young man? His own children have a history of drink and bad behaviour.
So lets hope that this motion will never make it through during the time of this administration. I applaud the 'activist' Keep it up and let sanity reign.
