Presidential hopeful: I’ll appoint new Supreme Court justices to undo gay

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio says the Supreme Court’s ruling to allow same-sex marriage is “bad law” and that it should have been left up to state legislatures to change the definition of marriage.

Rubio tried to answer by reiterating the reasons he thinks the Supreme Court was wrong in its decision legalizing gay marriage. ‘That belongs at the state and local level’. And that’s why if you want to change the definition of marriage, which is what this argument is about.

“It is true that states have generally defined who can get married and the process by which it happens, unless those laws contradict the Constitution, as you rightly point out in the Loving case”, said Jason Pierceson, a political science professor at the University of IL at Springfield and author of Same-Sex Marriage in the United States: The Road to the Supreme Court.

While same-sex marriage is “current law, I don’t believe any case law is settled law, any future Supreme Court can change it and ultimately, I will appoint Supreme Court justices that will interpret the Constitution has originally constructed”, Rubio insisted.

I wonder! Because it seems as though Rubio doesn’t believe that the Supreme Court should change things that have been one way for years and years. Rubio has suggested that he would appoint Supreme Court justices that would support a strict interpretation of the constitution and support his view of marriage. Unlike same-sex marriage, no state has barred weddings officiated by impersonators of the legendary celebrity singer.

It’s particularly interesting to hear this coming from Rubio, who presents himself as the candidate of the future, full of youthful optimism and forward-looking vision. “But also, the practical reality that in order for us to identify homegrown violent extremism and prevent it or root it out before it takes action, we are going to need the cooperation of Muslim communities in this country”, he said.

Even as he says he’s the candidate of a new generation, Rubio would like to reassure those voters that he wants to lead them on that journey to the past. This is an important issue to have a debate over. The clips imply both supported accepting Syrian refugees without condition, though both Cruz and Rubio have called for halting any program accepting refugees from Syria in the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks.

Paul’s campaign was given a life raft by CNN today, when the network announced that it will include him on the main stage of tomorrow’s GOP presidential debate, despite the fact that he failed to meet the required polling of “3.5% in approved nationwide surveys or 4% in Iowa or New Hampshire”. Cruz is a rightwing insane.
