President Bush's Hypocrisy- Again

This is new news to me, but I am a bit slow.

-A Statement by Matt Foreman, Executive Director of the
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force:

Today, President Bush sullied the commemoration of the 50th
Anniversary of Brown vs. Board of Education by renewing his
support for amending the U.S. Constitution to enshrine
discrimination against a minority.

On a day in which we celebrate the role of the independent
judiciary in American democracy, the President said, "The
sacred institution of marriage should not be redefined by a
few activist judges." I say, Mr. President, you would not
be living in the White House but for a "few activist
judges." Likewise, without an independent judiciary,
segregation would still be the law of many states, abortion
and interracial marriages would still be illegal, and indigent
persons accused of crime would have no have right to legal
counsel.

Fortunately, the President's proposed amendment is dead on
arrival in the U.S. Senate and he knows it. The only reason
for this renewed call for Congress to act is to continue to
use the lives of committed same-sex couples to divide America
for partisan gain.
