Interesting details from the AP story:
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, said he appreciated Bush’s “moral leadership” on the issue, but expressed caution about moving too quickly toward a constitutional solution, and never directly supported one. “This is so important we’re not going to take a knee-jerk reaction to this,” Delay said. “We are going to look at our options and we are going to be deliberative about what solutions we may suggest.”
However, California Republican Reps. David Dreier and Jerry Lewis said a constitutional amendment might not be necessary.
“I will say that I’m not supportive of amending the Constitution on this issue,” said Dreier, a co-chairman of Bush’s campaign in California in 2000. “I believe that this should go through the courts, and I think that we’re at a point where it’s not necessary.”
Lewis said, “At this moment I feel changing the Constitution should be a last resort on almost any issue.”
All true conservatives need to rally to protect the Constitution from being used unnecessarily for wedge politics. I’m delighted some are. More will.
