I heard on the news yesterday that 43 states had now banned same-sex marriages. As long as the states address the issues in their constitutions and the DOMA is considered constitutional by the Supreme Court, then there isn't any need for President Bush to pursue the constitutional amendment at the Federal level.

I also agree that his "new" stance is based on the political reality of the Senate and I disagree with Stachelberg that is "another inconsistency" of President Bush. Admitting that the Senate will not support or pass a bill that he supports is not a reversal of his previous position.
