New York Times' Headline:
Bush Says His Party Is Wrong to Oppose Gay Civil
Unions:
President Bush said in an interview this past weekend that he disagreed with the Republican Party platform opposing civil unions of same-sex couples and that the matter should be left up to the states.
As instapundit and
others point out, this appears to contradict the position of the
failed, Bush-backed Federal Marriage Amendment (unless you believe,
as Bush does, that the amendment would only prevent judges
from imposing civil unions, which is not how some of the FMA's own
backers saw it).
