i don't know, it almost feels like bush is trying to piss his voters off.

Bush said, "If courts create their own arbitrary definition of marriage as a mere legal contract, and cut marriage off from its cultural, religious and natural roots, then the meaning of marriage is lost and the institution is weakened."

are you kidding me?! at a 50% divorce rate in the united states, i really don't know how the insitution could get any weaker. if he was really interested in "strengthening the institution" he'd make divorce illegal.
