Bush says judges making his case for amendment barring same-sex marriage
----------------------------------
WHITE HOUSE President Bush says a California court ruling is helping make his case for amending the Constitution to bar same-sex marriage.

(snip)

But the president told a news conference that the issue should be decided by the people, not judges.

Last year, Bush announced his backing for a constitutional amendment on gay marriage. He said a "sacred" institution is under attack from activist judges.

However, since winning re-election, he's said little on the subject, and his congressional allies have acknowledged they lack the votes in Congress to prevail.

But Bush told reporters the more that judges issue rulings on the issue, the more people will come around to his view.
