Mike Huckabee says states should ignore Supreme Court rulings

This fascist would have had states ignoring Civil Rights rulings too.

Huckabee Urges States To Ignore Rulings On Marriage Equality, Abortion Rights & Church-State Separation

Submitted by Miranda Blue on Wednesday, 10/8/2014 9:49 am

In an interview with Iowa-based conservative talk show host Steve Deace yesterday, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee repeated his recommendation that governors simply ignore the Supreme Court’s decision to let stand lower court rulings legalizing marriage equality in several new states, adding that state governments should have also ignored Roe v. Wade and the Supreme Court rulings banning school-sponsored prayer.

9. So he's telling these states to open themselves up to civil liability.

If the process has played out and there is a definite ruling on the state's laws, refusing to abide by the ruling opens that state up to millions, and potentially billions, of dollars in federal civil liability.

He's basically telling states to deny civil rights.

His words here are no different than those of a bygone era spoken by a viscous racist, "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever"

11. Wow, digging into this, Huckabee is actually advocating the start of a Civil War.

All because two people who love each other want to get married.

How does an individual become so hateful that they would advocate Civil War over two people who love each other wanting to get married????
