This is just a bit of election year pandering by Bush.

As Cobalt Blue pointed out, the SCOTUS has not granted gays protected class status, so a state will only have to show a rational basis for forbidding gay marriage, a very easy standard to meet.

With respect to Massachusetts, the citizens of that state are perfectly free to amend their state consitution to forbid gay marriage.

Bush is proposing a solution for a problem that doesn't exist, in six months nobody will even remember his proposal.
