"Good morning. Eight years ago, Congress passed, and President Clinton signed, the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage for purposes of federal law as the legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife. The act passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 342-67 and the Senate by a vote of 85-14. Those congressional votes, and the passage of similar defense of marriage laws in 38 states, express an overwhelming consensus in our country for protecting the institution of marriage."

Can you say "Bush flips the middle finger at the Dems?"

Of course, it's going to be like that other myth, from 1973, where if you recall 38 states had recently passed legislation restricting further access to abortion at the same time people were trying to project a grassroots uprising in favor of legal baby-killing. If it was such an uprising, how come they didn't vote? That's all I'm asking.
