I'd like to ask the President to support the US Consitution which includes the 14th amendment. His religious beliefs do not trump my consitutional rights.

Oh I know what his unfortunate opinion is now, but I think some don't know that he, at one point, supported full marriage equality.
I think it's important for us to know that as early as 1996 he publicly stated his support.
However, it is a sad change of publicly stated opinion. (but necessary for Presidential election win perhaps).
Also, wasn't too impressed with the President's rather tepid comments yesterday regarding the Prop 8 decision.
As for your last comment, yes, as former scholar of Constitutional Law, you think he would make publicly make the connection b/w our rights and that document.
