Bush keepin' it simple

In light of the excellent news that the Massachusetts Supreme Court called a ban against same-sex marriage illegal (it's against the Massachusetts Constitution, meaning on the one hand, other states can't use it as a precedent, on the other hand the Supreme Court can't overturn it), here's the President's kind statement of the day:

November 18, 2003

STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

Marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman. Today's decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court violates this important principle. I will work with congressional leaders and others to do what is legally necessary to defend the sanctity of marriage.

And that's all she wrote.
