June 3 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush, calling marriage the ``most enduring and important human institution,'' urged Congress to pass a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex marriage in the U.S.
``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,'' Bush said in his weekly radio address. ``Government, by recognizing and protecting marriage, serves the interests of all.''
The Senate Judiciary Committee last month approved, along party lines, a proposed constitutional amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and woman. The Republican- controlled Senate might vote on the measure as soon as next week. It has little chance of passage because it would require a two- thirds majority, and Republicans have just 55 of the 100 seats.
Ridiculous enough to drive me mad.
Please tell me how this is going to help any in this country?
Aren't they supposed to be passsing laws that will increase our abilty or get healthcare and a decent education?
The universe is falling apart sir and this is what you concentrate on?

Uh, Jacob, do you actually expect the Bush regime to concentrate on anything of substance?
Though I did notice that many people who normally are silent on political issues found it more than a bit strange that they forgot the Statue of Liberty
