Santorum is livid that the Supreme Court would do their job and uphold the Constitution, and seems to want the Supreme Court to be elected like justices in many states. He then said:
The better solution if youre going to put effort into try to control the judiciary is by doing things that limits their jurisdiction or requires, for example, the Supreme Court to take all appeals.
When Fox News Tucker Carlson mentioned that heterosexual marriage is collapsing because of marriage equality, Santorum drifted off into a diatribe about what he would focus on if he were president, and where he would put his energy:
The most important power that a president has and obviously Im running for president the most important power the president has is the power of the bully pulpit Can you imagine if instead of if the president spent all his time talking about global warming, if he talked about the importance of marriage and fathers and mothers taking responsibility for raising this children in healthy homes? And actually promoting marriage, not just from the presidency, but in the popular culture and in the business community. And actually have programs that support the idea marriage and togetherness in order to raise children.

(23,156 posts)Heterosexual marriages do not break up because now gays can get married in all 50 states.
Marriages end for lots of reasons. I will say, that back in the dark ages of the 1970's, I knew more than one gay man who'd married a woman because that was what was expected, and they were very much in the closet back then. How dreadful is that? Isn't it vastly better that people don't have to live a pretense?
Oh, and more to the point, it's not as though us straight people have such a fabulous record for staying married, or being faithful to each other.

I think it flows naturally.
He's like the reservoir of stupid that right wingers drink from.
This man is really stupid. Thank heavens the voters of PA saw the light and didn't reelect him to the Senate. Oh yes the President should spend all his time talking about marriage. And please someone explain to me how same sex marriage is so dangerous. We've a huge drought in CA, massive forest fires in WA and AK and all the damage that is being done in other countries. Name one person, frothy, who has been injured by same sex marriage and I'll give you a list that have been hurt by climate change. And jeesh some repugs support this jerk. I don't know what is more scary repug support for Santorum or Trumpet.
