InstaPundit & Gay Marriage. InstaPundit links to this article by Glenn Reynolds. Let me say straight up that I don't believe Glenn/InstaPundit when he says he's against Bush's stand on marriage & the constitution because, "I don't believe in amending the Constitution easily, and I don't think that this is an issue that ought to be constitutionalized." Well, if truth be told, Glenn has had little objection to a constant amending of the constitution -- when judges are doing this to advance a libertarian rights agenda which secures gay intercourse rights and other libertarian freedoms. Likewise, Glenn has been in favor of constitutionalizing gay marriage to the extent that this means altering state constitutions to advance this institution. Indeed, based on his stated jurisprudence on related issues, I don't anticipate that Glenn would have any objection to having gay marriage "constitutionalized" by the Supreme Court on 14th amendment equal protection or other such "high theory" grounds -- such a position would be the one consistent with his other stated positions on constitutional interpretation concerning closely related matters.
