Exactly. The last thing Bush wants is to actually get the amendment passed. He just wants to run the issue for all its worth through November, then dump it like a cross-eyed blind date. He's played the same game with abortion - technically opposed, but never going to actually take any real action to tip over the apple cart. He'd have to have shit for brains to actually try to get an amendment, considering how everyone already thinks he's a radical nut with no respect for the system.
If Alfred E. Neuman gets a second term, thank the Mass. Supreme Court for handing him the ammo to do so. If these judges could have held tight a little while longer, he'd still be stuttering about why the Iraq debacle wasn't predicated on lies. Instead, he's whipping the Red State idiots into a frenzy about how queer are going to brainwash their children out of heterosexuality.
