Jindal 'not going to evolve' on gay marriage
The Hill ^ | 06/28/2015 | Mark Hensch

Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-La.) said on Sunday that he is not changing his mind on the definition of marriage.

“I think marriage is between a man and a woman,” Jindal told host Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“My position is not going to evolve,” he said.

“I want to run a campaign where we do not give up on our principles,” the 2016 GOP presidential candidate added.

“Establishment conservatives do not want us to do that.”

Jindal’s remarks follow Friday’s landmark Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.

He said on Sunday that Louisiana would not start recognizing the practice until the legal process was fully concluded.

“Our agencies will comply with the court’s order,” Jindal said. “We do not have a choice.”

“I think this decision was the wrong one,” he added. “I strongly disagree with the court’s decision.”

WEll I like Bobby but why hasn’t he just invoked the 10th Ammendment? Why hasn’t even one of our GOP governors done it? Why haven’t they all gotten tougher and done it simultaneously? They are afraid. Talk is cheap.

Talking the best talk is the way to get elected. I want to know what Jindal is going to do RIGHT NOW to assert states rights and not grant gay marriages. I kind of like the answer of having the state grant no marriages, only civil unions, and let Churches and other organizations grant marriages.

Marriage isn't a contract with the state. It's a contract with God. It has no meaning if it's granted to same-sex couples. JMHO, and I've never been opposed to civil unions for any two people who want that legal arrangement.

I was in favor of civil unions over marriage for homosexuals.

There’s just too much baggage to an attempt to equalize traditional and homosexual marriage.

Everything from terminologies to children’s developing identity is tossed upside down.

“WEll I like Bobby but why hasn’t he just invoked the 10th Ammendment?”

No.

Not “just” invoked the 10th amendment.” Invoke the SUPREME Ruler and Judge. No one can argue against Him. He says marriage is One Man and One Woman.

“What about nullification?”

That is the 10th ammendement. It nullifies unconstitutional Federal laws.

Yes you do, Bobby. Yes you do.
