20 years ago today, George W Bush asks Congress to pass an amendment to the Constitution defining marriage as a union of a man and a woman as husband and wife.

They essentially led a lynch mob against Shiavo’s husband. Jeb was way more involved than George, but with George’s vocal support, which turned it national. I can’t imagine having to make that terrible decision, take it through the courts and win, then have your Governor and President come down on you for it.
