President Bush’s legacy, for all intents and purposes, may be sleeping with the fishes. In an unscientific survey of 109 historians, 61 percent of them ranked Bush the worst president in history??a number that undoubtedly would be higher if James Buchanan had mastered that whole leave-the-country-in-one-piece-when-you-exit-office thing. Furthermore, the populace outside the Ivory Tower seems to agree.

Its proponents in California’s Voter Information Guide, for example, invoke “human history?? and utilize scare tactics as a defense of traditional marriage. “If the gay marriage ruling is not overturned,” they claim, “TEACHERS COULD BE REQUIRED to teach young children there is no difference between gay marriage and traditional marriage...
