Hmm, well according to this speech by Bush. This constitution amendent is suppose to be the same as a law passed during the Clinton adminstration. It passed overwhelmingly: The Act passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 342 to 67, and the Senate by a vote of 85 to 14. It is called the Defense of Marriage Act and Bush said "Congress attempted to address this problem in the Defense of Marriage Act, by declaring that no state must accept another state's definition of marriage". And the reason Mr Bush wants to make this a constitution amendent is to protect the law from the courts striking it down in some future date.

Now, why is this problem and what is the Left crying about it?
