Jeb Bush and the ACLU oppose an effort to put a ban on gay marriage in the Florida constitution. Bush and the ACLU are no doubt worried that the amendment will impact local domestic partner laws in Broward and Monroe counties. Bush is correct that Florida law already bans gay marriage, however, an explicit guarantee of the right to privacy in the state's constitution leaves the existing state law vulnerable to legal challenge. The reality is that Jeb Bush, also an advocate of driver's licenses for illegal aliens, shares the position of the ACLU on this matter.

So - the Anti Christian Litigation Unit is out to prevent the voters from expressing their choice.

The point that Governor Bush is making is that there are state laws already in place that ban this reprehensible behavior. This is not to be misconstrued that he is soft on this issue, he is not. And driver's licenses for even illegals is a way to track and keep tabs on all of them. Personally I would like to see every damn one of them sent back to Cuba or Mexico with the thread of a long incarceration tied to a return but the liklihood of ever being able to do that is nil. They are everywhere in this state. This way at least they are registered.

I do support a constitutional amendment. Florida's Supreme Court - better known as SCOFLAW - is one of the most activist liberal courts in the country. If the kangaroo Supremes wanted to - they could strike down Florida's man-woman marriage statute. What's to stop them? Jeb Bush is being an ass in opposing preventing judicial tyrants from usurping the will of the people.

This is a stupid amendment. Gay marriage is already illegal in Florida. Why open a can of worms?

[Reagan 76]

"Gov. Jeb Bush said Wednesday he is still opposed to an amendment against same-sex marriage because the state's laws already prohibit the practice."

Translation: Governor Jeb Bush favors leaving the matter open for left-wing judges to determine.
