Will Mary and Heather be in the Rose Garden on Monday?
by Joe in DC - 6/02/2006 09:07:00 PM

Froomkin reports on the upcoming gay bashing speech:

Bush has invited some of the nation's leading social conservatives to the Rose Garden on Monday, to cheer him on as he strongly endorses a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage.......

1. The Post says that the announcement has been moved to an office building

not the Rose Garden under criticism that they should not use such a symbolic site
for this announcement.

Bush has given the appearance of a reluctant supporter of banning same-sex marriage. In an interview with The Washington Post in January 2005, he said he did not plan to lobby senators for the amendment because it did not have much chance of passing, infuriating conservative supporters. Even this week, he has sent mixed signals. The White House told activists that Monday's speech would be in the Rose Garden, but after criticism that he was using such a symbolic site, the White House moved it to an office building next door.

3. Yes, but this is the first amendment to the Constitution that
takes away rights.. maybe that's why common sense prevailed? I don't know.....
