The "reasoned logic" they speak of is something not mentioned in the article. They reasoned that because the President and Vice President (The Government) uses and has used the words publicly, that it negates the law saying that other people can't use it.
So... let's follow the logic here...
1) A law is created.
2) The government doesn't follow the law.
3) Since the government doesn't follow the law, it can't tell other people they have to.
4) The law is invalidated.
Ok... so right there on the White House website is a picture of the Cheney's holding their baby grandson. The page recognizes Mary and her partner as the parents. So... apparently the government MUST recognize same-sex partners, their families, AND that both moms are in fact the parents!
Oh yeah, and if to slap Cheney in the face, Bush's latest court appointment is a guy who has ruled that a gay parent raising a child poses a health risk to the child and has even ordered children to be taken away from their birth mothers because the mothers are either bisexuals or lesbians.
