Marco Rubio on the gay marriage ruling: We live in a republic and must abide by the law
Hotair ^ | June 26, 2015 | Allahpundit

At any other time, this statement would be wholly unremarkable. In the thick of a GOP presidential primary, though? Right after the the hottest hot-button social issue of ‘em all has gone nuclear? When Mike Huckabee’s vowing some sort of second American revolution in defiance of the Court’s ruling?

Kinda newsy.

“I believe that marriage, as the key to strong family life, is the most important institution in our society and should be between one man and one woman. People who disagree with the traditional definition of marriage have the right to change their state laws. That is the right of our people, not the right of the unelected judges or justices of the Supreme Court. This decision short-circuits the political process that has been underway on the state level for years.

"We live in a republic and must abide by the law"

No we don't, and no, we don't.

I won’t vote for a ticket with Rubio on it.

Roberts, the backstabbing ahole, made a good point today.

In Kennedy’s patronizing text stating (and I paraphrase), “this in no way prevents religious people from being religious.”

Kennedy said that we can still “teach” and “advocate” religion.

Roberts’ point was that the 1st Amendment codifies our right to EXERCISE our religion.

The 5 black-robed tyrants today in this case essentially rewrote the 1st Amendment in such a way that this decision says we do NOT have the freedom to EXERCISE our religion, only advocate and teach.

You can be sure the homonazis will go to the most conservative churches, ask to be married there, will be denied, and they will sue.

The next round will say that no institution has the right to discriminate against same-sex marriage, that the churches do not have the right to EXERCISE those decisions.

Yes, they can advocate and teach, but when the homonazis come a-knockin’, you’d better bend over and grab your ankles.

Three states voted for SSM in 2012. It’s been fairly obvious for several years that this is the direction the electorate has been moving. I believe the various court decisions only sped up the process.

Really, Marco?

This is an attack on the Church and Christians. Watch as they persecute pastors and believers for hate crimes.

And then we will be arrested.

We have no representation in the Supreme. They are apparently all powerful and accountable to no one. How can he call this a “republic?”

This is not the law. I will never recognise it. Marco Pukio can go to wherever

This is what the Left doesn't understand. There is a limit to how much good Christians can give to Caesar. We have reached that limit.

We follow God’s law, not the rule of so-called “men.”

We should all say, "what are you going to do about it? We're not budging."

And when they call the cops, the cops should tell them to piss off.

You know that is not going to happen.

This will be the issue to jail us, confiscate our possessions and strip the churches of their goods and property, to be replaced by “centers of tolerance” flying the rainbow flag while we sit in the FEMA camps.

They are limited only by their imaginations and as we’ve seen from ISIS, evil can be quite creative in torture.

Wrong. I do not have to and never will obey man made laws that run contrary to the expressed will and Word of God. As a famous monk once said, “Here I stand, I can do no other”

Here in MA, maybe. But down south? Why do you think everyone's been stocking up on guns and ammo?
