Double standards?

Thanks for posting the links to the Constitution. I must be honest; I'm far from an expert on the Constitution, but after I looked it over once again and read Steve's post about the unconstitutionality of Roe vs. Wade — which contained the following excerpt — something else crossed my mind... I'll get into that in a minute.

Steve said: Who would you trust more to know the will of the people? I hope you would say your state government. You cannot make a reasonable argument that someone in Washington knows what is best for someone in Kalispell or Boise or Shreveport. The "one size fits all" mentality is a large source of much of the resentment and unrest in this country. People live in small communities or large communities for a reason. What goes in New York certainly doesn't go in Brown Mountain, and vice versa.

What if he was talking about Bush's support of the constitutional amendment to ban same sex marriages (which we haven't heard about in a while, BTW)? Isn't that also something that's best left up to the states? Further, wouldn't such a ban be unconstitutional? I guess both parties are fine with manipulating the constitution when it serves their purposes. Finally, what wrong with manipulating the Constitution if it creates policy that the majority of Americans want?

I'm just full of questions this morning, I guess... Some rhetorical, some not.
