Jeb Bush Says Gay Marriage Isn't a Constitutional Right

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

(Bloomberg Politics) -- Jeb Bush knows the way he would rule on same-sex marriage if he were a Supreme Court justice.


Interviewed Sunday by the Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody, Bush was asked whether he believed that gay marriage was a right protected by the U.S. constitution.

“I don’t, but I’m not a lawyer, and clearly this has been accelerated at a warp pace,” he said.

The Supreme Court is expected to rule sometime next month on whether gay marriage should be made legal in all 50 U.S. states, and Bush tied the future of the country itself to the issue of the family structure.

"To imagine how we're going to succeed in our country unless we have committed family life, a child-centered family system, is hard to imagine," Bush said. "Irrespective of the Supreme Court ruling, because they're going to decide whatever they decide, and I don't know what they're going to do, we need to be stalwart supporters of traditional marriage."

3. Stop Jeb Bush Now! n/t

4. He's using an argument against childless marriages to argue against gay marriage.

What a doofus mobufus.

5. Jeb says this and I would assume he knows there are many laws are not

Which are not constitutional rights. It does not make it wrong to give same sex couples the ability to marry and have the same priviledges as opposite sex marriages. He knows where the ruling is probably going and then he could say it has been ruled on by the SC.

6. "we need to be stalwart supporters of traditional marriage"

Now we can hope that someone asks Jebbie to "define traditional marriage", noting that for much of the history of Western culture women were considered property and were purchased by husbands from their fathers, all with the blessing of his precious Catholic Church.

That would be a hoot.

Oh, and for good measure, ask him what he thinks about same-sex couples adopting children. Let him squirm about that one.

7. I appreciate an honest bigot...

...voters should know where they stand.
