In georgia10's post, And Now, For Some Saturday Morning Pandering, she excerpts Bush's radio address from this morning. In it, he emphasizes several times that a "Marriage Protection Amendment" is necessary because democracy, not "activist judges" should decide the future of marriage in America. georgia10 wisely adds...

The President couldn't have made his position any clearer. Courts should not be overturning the will of the people when it comes who should and should not be allowed to marry. Now, which enterprising White House reporter will ask whether the President thinks that Loving v. Virginia should be overturned?

Yeah--what about that, George? My husband and I would like to know.

I am very glad that "activist judges" have stepped in in cases like Loving v. Virginia and Brown v. Board of Education. Who knows how long it would have taken for a majority of the people in all 50 states to agree that integrated schools and interracial marriage should be legal. Or, going further back, should we have waited to give African Americans the full legal rights of citizenship until the majority agreed to it?
