Bush Plans To Back Marriage Amendment

The headline above comes as little surprise; now that Bush essentially has a fall opponent in John Kerry, it's time for him to start running his campaign. But the following paragraph from the article above shows how tremendously cynical and deceptive this White House is:

Republican officials said Bush's decision to proceed now was driven partly by his desire to start the general election campaign on a fresh issue, at a time when his credibility has been battered by questions about prewar warnings of unconventional weapons in Iraq, as well as doubts raised by Democrats about his National Guard service.

The sad thing is that this will probably work, at least for a while. But here's an important question: will the Federal Marriage Amendment ever become part of the Constitution?
