even better quotes from Mr Bush:
Speaking Thursday at the G-8 summit in Canada,
Bush said the ruling was "out of step with the
history and traditions of America," and said it
highlighted the need for "common sense judges
that understand that our rights are derived
from God."
(-- http://www.cnn.com/2002/LAW/06/27/pledge.allegiance/index.html)
funny - if our rights are derived from god, I wonder why, say, the saudies
don't get the same rights? or the Christians living in Lebanon, if people
insist that it's a different god?
