Bush</strong> called for a constitutional amendment against gay marriage today, blaming "activist judges", the Massachusettes Supreme Court, and the mayor of San Francisco, among others, for attempting "to change the most fundamental institution of civilization." <br /><br /> How this call for an amendment plays out <em>remains to be seen</em>, but Bush is taking a strong stance on this issue, in what some see as another 'big headline' proposal during the election season.
