You want agenda-driven? Pushing an amendment to criminalize gay

Bush didn't start that fight. His actions are in response to a ruling by
an activist liberal court which ruled this year in favor of a couple of
homos.

It's a canard. Politician's call for constitutional amendments when they
know there isn't the slightest chance of passage. Remember Ronald
Reagan's call for an amendment to allow prayer in the schools? To
prohibit abortion? Term limits? Or my favorite, a balanced budget
amendment, as his deficits soared? They all went nowhere. IMHO, calling
to amend the Constitution weakens it. The Constitution had provided us a
heritage and stability. It should be held above these transient political
footballs.
