The Constitutionality of Gay Marriage I

This is a very powerful piece. I highly doubt it if Bush
will succeed in pursuing this constitutional amendment.
But if we take one step back, and view this problem in
a different light, we may realize that this again is an
example of democracy running into a wall.

I say so because it's apparent to me that the only reason
Bush said what he said is that he's counting on half of
America to like it. He doesn't mind steping on the minority
and crush them as long as he can win the favor of his voters.
The only thing left for him to pray for is that his voters
will translate to a victory in the electoral college.

I like the fact that there's always the Supreme Court which
can make unpopular decisions and keep this country in check.
But then, they are bound by the constitution and indirectly
what the majority believes. Let's just hope the majority hasn't
lost its sense. But seriously, can we trust the majority with
the right and wrong? Did the majority used to think slavery was good?
Who is to uphold the right when the truth sometimes finds only
a small crowd of adherents?

This is what I worry about. Bush's only a minor vice, knowing
damn well how this game works.
