This does not sound like rushing things:

[Bush] hinted that he might be considering support for a constitutional amendment to preclude gay marriage. "I believe in the sanctity of marriage," Mr. Bush said. "I believe a marriage is between a man and a woman. And I think we ought to codify that one way or the other. And we've got lawyers looking at the best way to do that." As the Defense of Marriage Act -- signed by President Clinton -- already exists, Mr. Bush's comment was taken by many as an expression of interest in a constitutional amendment.

but initiating in anticipation seems so
overwrought.


On the contrary. It is usually better to anticipate and address problems in advance than wait until they bite you in the ass and then try to clean up the mess.
