what does it mean?
Feb. 24th, 2004 12:37 pmBush says:
"some activist judges and local officials have made an aggressive attempt to redefine marriage.
"And unless action is taken, we can expect more arbitrary court decisions, more litigation, more defiance of the law by local officials, all of which adds to uncertainty."
I can understand wanting to make the laws less vague, but what does he mean by activist judges? And by "defiance of the law"? What does he think is going on? What *is* going on?
I thought in all cases the laws were either vague enough to allow interpretation, or the laws were successfully challenged to allow gay marriage. Is this not true? Is Bush lying to us? This sounds like a more serious charge than "stretching the truth". WTF?
