Here’s What Every 2016 Candidate Has to Say About LGBT SCOTUS Victory
Mediaite ^ | June 26, 2015 | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 06/26/2015 7:21:53 PM PDT by Engraved-on-His-hands

With the Supreme Court’s historic ruling that effectively legalizes same-sex marriage in all 50 states, the 2016 presidential candidates really have no choice today but to comment on the decision from one angle of another. Here’s what they had to say.

Hillary Clinton was quick out of the gate with a personal statement, followed by a rebranding of her campaign logo that has already been retweeted more than 20,000 times:

Ted is a trader.

No hope there, he and the rest of the professional politicians already sold us out.

yeah i am not a walker supporter or saying he won† cave like the rest of them. in fact i dont think there is much any of these candidates can do about this issue except strive now for religious protections for churches. even if Cruz were to be elected it changes nothing on gay marriage unfortunately.

having said that - what these candidates say DOES matter though because it is an indicator of their belief system. that is why I think it is helpful. Rubio exposed his RINO credentials - no surprise there.

I think Kennedy was the turncoat and Roberts, oddly enough voted correct on this. Maybe I have this wrong.

If Kennedy had voted against this ruling, Roberts would have joined the lefties. He didn't have to because Kennedy did the dishonors.

Don't pat Roberts on the back for this one. His opinion drips with hypocrisy. He actually chastised the majority for legislating from the bench. What a clown.

I’m only relaying the news and facts.

But I agree with the general idea of the way this looks staged, Roberts voted for Obamacare, got in the clear to vote against Gay Marriage. I noted in what I wrote it was backstabbing what he did on Obamacare.

But in this case, not that I care greatly since Roberts voted wrong on Obamacare, did not Roberts actually dissent from gay marriage and wanted traditional marriage? This confuses me.

You're correct. I realized that after I posted, but this article had that Trump tweet under the candidates' responses to the gay marriage decisions today.

Trump said that same thing yesterday in a radio news spot I heard soon after the Obamacare decision. It was his voice. I wonder if he tweeted the same thing this morning before the marriage decision.

He did at 7:06 am this morning before the marriage decision. That time is from Trump's Twitter page. Just checked. The article has the wrong time: 9:06 am. So maybe Trump hasn't commented yet on the marriage decision.

The interesting part to me is that he's making the point that Jeb was a Roberts supporter.

I don’t think that pastors who are opposed to homosexual marriage will be permitted to preside over weddings where their signature will be necessary to register the marriage.

Those pastors will need to tell their parishoners to go to the courthouse before coming to church.

Any pastor that is registered with the state to conduct “official” wedding ceremonies will either have to agree to marry homosexuals or risk being sued into bankruptcy.

No way that Roberts didn’t consult with Kennedy, and got let off the hook.

Santorum did good too, but his was short. I give top marks to those who will push for a Federal Amendment and he has said he would do that. Walker too. When I am less tired I will reread all of their comments.

Protective legislation is worth a try, but we are not going to write legislation that will protect religious freedoms more than the First Amendment. If Amendment 1 of the Constitution is failing us, what will mere laws do for us? They will be about as good as the federal DOMA and the state amendments and laws. The judges can still oveturn them or render them meaningless.

It seems like the fix was in, it’s just rotten the Obamacare decision was 6-3, this one 5-4.

Here's the process in Ohio. What would an ACLU Lawyer say about any 'minister' being required to perform 'any' marriage?

Application for Minister's License to Solemnize Marriage

$10 Fee
Pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section 3101.10, upon producing to this office credentials of the minister's being a regularly ordained or licensed minister of any religious society or congregation, a minister shall be entitled to receive a license authorizing the minister to solemnize marriages in Ohio so long as the minister continues as a regular minister in that society or congregation.

Huckabee is on now...I’ve liked what he has said on this, he sounds like he would have stood up but easier to say when you aren’t in office.

>> The unintended consequences to this thing are just huge.

Imagine what will be presented and indoctrinated in public schools.

Rubio said, “It’s the law. We have to follow it.”

Some laws are meant to be ignored.

Rubio can pound sand.

I don’t think the consequences in this case are “unintended” at all. The purpose of the ruling is to attack the Christian religion and force it underground in the decades to come.
