Geez——another disappointment.
Military chaplains will now be forced to violate their conscience
I hope Rand realizes that. All chaplains should abdicate in disgust. That will take out a lot of the religious service members too, who don’t want to be in the field without spiritual counsel.
FURP! Rand Paul is randomly unreliable, ie, a liberaltarian squish.
Ted Cruz is quite literally the only man I trust in Washington right now.
As for Rand, give him a couple months and his tune will change. He seems to shift a lot to suit the audience.
Once again, the people who use the system the way it is set up are getting screwed by the people the people who sit on their asses and use short cuts.
What about the rights of Voters to shape their government? What about them?
rand is an effing moron.
doma WAS the law that left it up to the states, it kept the federal govt from having a national “yes” on the issue. by having a “no” position at the federal level it allowed states to have either a no or yes position.
and rand, you stupid asshat, thedemocrats don’t agree to disagree on anything in their party, they tell the minority to shut the eff up. works pretty well for them in terms of getting what they want.
Those thing determined, defined, and endowed by the Creator TRUMP Federal, States, and The People. The institution of Marriage is one of those things.
WRONG!
It was appropriate only to a flaming Lib or Libertarian.
Culture usually and eventually trumps law. Pursuing legal/political solutions to cultural issues is a waste of effort.
Rand, you are toast! toast in the pres primaries!!!
Article VI, Clause 3: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States (emphasis added).
BS.
I'm thrilled. A lot more should have been left to the States, and the Federal Government kept small.
If the homos want to dominate a state, people will at least be able to vote with their feet.
When it's national the last line of defense is the Church and it is under attack, too.
Personally, I will refuse to recognize any homosexual union as "marriage".
I just find it kind of sleazy when the American people vote on something and five creeps wearing black robes say, “Oh no you don’t”. I don’t think that’s the America that the Founding Fathers had in mind.
libertopian vs conservative
Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Senor Rubio are unlikely to be the GOP nominees in 2016, and even more unlikely to be elected POTUS.
I get the bad feeling Rand Paul is going to go full blown Rubio on some issue or another before 2016. I don’t see that happening to Ted Cruz.
Actually they are, but not when it creates gay marriage for all of America or frankly, anywhere in America.
America was founded by people dedicated against such a thing, and they would never have tolerated it, or created the legal argument for it to become the law of the land.
Bachmann, Cruz and West are the only three I trust. Pretty much.
I could get on board with Palin in 2015, but not Rand Paul..
