Rick, so you think the "court got it wrong". Well, we KNOW that you have it wrong!

COMMENTS:
*  Just another ignorant Republican. Also one who will never get the opportunity to oppose anything from the oval office.
*  This man thinks about gay sex more than the average gay person does. Why is that, Rick?
*  These right wing republicans who are running for presidency are sounding they're running for dictatorship instead.
*  "I would love them and support them"  What a crock of BS - right-wing nutters always say stuff like that, but their actions speak much louder than their lies.
*  This stance by Santorum reminds me of George Wallace standing in the schoolhouse door to prevent integration, or Lester Maddox threatening civil rights marchers with an ax handle.  Santorum is not a "social conservative." He's a racist, homophobic, misogynist bigot.
*  Evangelical Christians are afraid of extinction. If any part of the bible is incorrect or wrong and they are forced to admit that fact, then the entire bible might be wrong or incorrect and that would mean SPIRITUAL EXTINCTION. They cannot accept that the universe moves on and it is impossible to sustain the status quo.

Rick Santorum Will Fight The Supreme Court If It Legalizes Gay Marriage
By Marina Fang, May 31, 2015



Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said on Sunday that if the Supreme Court legalizes gay marriage later this year, he would dispute the decision, saying that the court "doesn't have the final word."

"Of course I'd fight it," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Roe versus Wade was decided 30 some years ago, and I continue to fight that, because I think the court got it wrong. And I think if the court decides this case in error, I will continue to fight, as we have on the issue of life ... We're not bound by what nine people say in perpetuity."

Santorum justified his stance by arguing that the executive and legislative branches are obligated to challenge the judicial branch.

"I think it's important to understand that the Supreme Court doesn't have the final word. It has its word. Its word has validity. But it's important for Congress and the president, frankly, to push back when the Supreme Court gets it wrong," he said.

The Supreme Court last month heard oral arguments on Obergefell v. Hodges, a case involving whether or not state bans on marriage equality are constitutional. It is likely that the court will rule in favor of marriage equality when the decision is announced sometime in June. Since its landmark decisions overturning the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8 in 2013, the court has refused to hear a number of appeals on state marriage equality bans, and in oral arguments, justices cited the growing public opinion in favor of gay marriage.

But among the GOP presidential field, several candidates have contended that state legislatures, not courts, should decide on whether or not to accept gay marriage. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) even introduced a constitutional amendment protecting states that define marriage as between a man and a woman.

As a social conservative, Santorum has long been a stalwart opponent of marriage equality. He has also said that he would not attend a gay wedding, even if it involved a close family member or friend.

"I just felt like as a person of my faith, that would be something that would be a violation of my faith. I would love them and support them, but I would not participate in that ceremony," he said.
