I realize that some of these groups want Bush to try to make a national law against same gender sex. But given recent court rulings, it just wouldn't stand up in the Supreme Court, so why waste his time.

Bush says he is leaving it to the states to determine whatever legal arrangements they want to make as long as it doesn't endanger the sanctity of marriage. I don't know how they deem that to be support of civil unions.

Bush says he is leaving it to the states to determine whatever legal arrangements they want to make as long as it doesn't endanger the sanctity of marriage.

Why that doesn't fly logically is that the federal government has fully entrenched itself in family law over the past quarter century (leading to where we are today). When it's too obviously in trouble, the problems are being blamed on the courts or left to the states. Either of those alternatives would be perfectly valid if it came with action to get the federal government out of marriage and family issues.
