I was going to change the automatic title, but then I realized it was a good one.

Money quote:

So at last it is official: George Bush is in favour of unequal rights, big-government intrusiveness and federal power rather than devolution to the states.

Interesting insight:

It can only be a matter of time before this issue arrives at the federal Supreme Court. And those �activist judges�, who, by the way, gave Mr Bush his job in 2000, might well take the same view of the federal constitution as their Massachusetts equivalents did of their state code: that the constitution demands equality of treatment. Last June, in Lawrence v Texas, they ruled that state anti-sodomy laws violated the constitutional right of adults to choose how to conduct their private lives with regard to sex, saying further that �the Court’s obligation is to define the liberty of all, not to mandate its own moral code�. That obligation could well lead the justices to uphold the right of gays to marry.
