The Supreme Court is going to be taking up an extremely significant perhaps historic
case that could in theory result in the legalization of same-sex marriage across the country we
don't know exactly how they are going to end up ruling but it does look pretty good at
this point and there is that possibility but some Republicans or those who are going to
be running for the Republican nomination for the Presidency want to make clear right off
the bat that they are not interested in what the Supreme Court has to say about and they
are willing to circumvent them if necessary first here his Mike Huckabee let's listen
to him one thing I am angry about though Hue is this notion of is this notion of judicial
supremacy where if the courts make a decision I hear governors and even some aspirants to
the presidency say well that's settled and it's the law of the not it isn't the law of
the law constitutionally the courts can't make a low they can interpret one and then
the legislature has to make enabling legislation and the executive has to sign it and enforce
it I don't think that he understands that if they interpret federal law to allow for
gay marriage they are still within their authority so everything only likes the judicial system
when they do what they want them to do that's number one there are there's something called
equal protections under the law so if these crazy activities judges decide that not allowing
gay people to marriage is illegal they're not being activist there actually supposed
to decide what is legal and non-legal this leads to straw man stuff and if this court
decides that there really it really is illegal because this court is not inclined towards
the left side of spectrum let's just put it that way they don't want to have to decide
on this I don't well I mean they have to but however it comes out if they come up with
what we would intercept as a progressive that's the law man because they are not bending the
rules in left's favor we know that for a fact yeah now Huckabee is not alone Ben Carson
another serious contender for the presidency coming up he has another solution to the problem
32 states have indicated that marriage is between a man and woman and a few judges have
come and overturned that that is as far as I'm concerned is unconstitutional and congress
actually has oversight of all what they call they inferior courts everything below the
Supreme Court and that's where those overturns have come and when judges do not carry out
their duty in an appropriate our Congress actually have the right to reprimand or remove
them most don't know the constitution but he just read it for the first time earlier
that day you know I had doctor that didn't know much about politics either its not an
unusual thing yeah do you think that is the solution if you don't like the ruling of a
judge you just wipe them all out Texas is trying to do that I mean I don't know that
that is what they are going to or that would make any sense I just don't understand just
the political pure political nature of this I just don't understand do they think this
is a winning issue do they thing making gay marriage back as a wedge issue is going to
help no one has proven any of the things that they said about gay marriage in the first
place if you let gays marry it's going to destroy family I'm engaged now are any of
your families threatened I'm not engaged maybe I would have been perhaps I'm slightly threatened
by single-ness since you've been engaged I've been thinking about fucking around on my wife
there you go you see what I'm talking about she's like what are you doing Dave's fucking
engaged I just want to fuck someone else I'll talk to her if you want to see if I can work
that out for you it's just nonsense that's the part I don't understand these guys want
to win more than anything right politicians want to win so who in the republican party
when they are having their secret meetings at Mr. Burns House guys we gotta get Republicans
we gotta get gay marriage back on the table here it just doesn't I just don't understand
I agree with you it doesn't seem to be a smart tactical maneuver even you know it just seem
and from two whip smart guys like Mike Huckabee and Ben Carson a doctor and a preacher how
often does that even when they knew that impeaching Bill Clinton would have negative effects for
them they still did it anyway they knew it was going to hurt them in the poles they did
it anyway because they only respond to their base that's he Republican way the Democrats
ignore or they dismiss their base and the Republicans fear their base I think this is
more base pandering and they want to get their base underneath them and then when they get
to the general like Mike Huckabee that's interesting get to the general he'll be like you know
they should decide he's moderate it someway they'll pivot the moderate position of revoking
the right of black people to vote something they feel is a little for palatable exactly
we have to understand that there are several of the more centrists candidates I hate calling
Christ Christie even something like that so on the other side there's going to be several
more conservative Republicans who have to stake out the most conservative position to
not split that vote too much and I think that while the Republican party is somewhat flailing
in its attempt to find an issue to rally around the individual candidates are even more so
flailing to find something that you can identify them will I mean do most people even know
who Ben Carson is or if they do know who he is do they know who he stands for I think
he's doing the job of trying to make it clear what he stands for now just for the record
I've been saying this for a year I think whatever Republican is the actual nominee will be for
gay marriage I really believe that I think you're right about this pandering to the base
for now and of course half of them are going to be against it and we can throw in Rick
Santorum but whoever gets out they want to win they just know this is not a winnable
thing and for whatever votes you lose on that unnecessarily they want to win
