Scott Walker Calls For Constitutional Amendment To Make Same-Sex Marriage Bans Constitutional


Likely GOP presidential candidate Scott Walker is calling for a constitutional amendment making same-sex marriage bans constitutional, should the Supreme Court strike them down.


For a while, it looked like Scott Walker might be (one of) the first Republican presidential candidates to support same-sex marriage. The Wisconsin governor, who routinely offers ambiguous answers, over the past year has allowed many to infer he might not oppose extending the institution of marriage to same-sex couples. Walker's most-recent example of allowing voters to infer his actual positions and beliefs was his unique comment that he had not attended a same-sex wedding (no response if he would) but he had attended the reception for a same-sex wedding.

One reason some believed in Walker's possible support is that he has a cousin who is gay, and his son was a witness at her wedding. And another was public opinion. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported last October, "polls have shown more support for same-sex marriage," and added that Walker "has repeatedly answered questions about the ban by saying his opinion doesn't matter because a governor can't change the constitution."

Apparently, Gov. Walker can't change the Wisconsin constitution, but he thinks trying to change the U.S. Constitution is fair game.

If the Supreme Court grants same-sex couples the constitutional right to marry and prohibits states from banning that right, the 47-year old union-busting Tea Party Republican governor says he would support a federal constitutional amendment allowing states to ban same-sex couples from marrying......

2. Scott Walker will say anything-

ANYTHING- if he believes it will help him one day become president. I would not be surprised if the reality is that SKW doesn't actually give a rat's behind one way or another about same sex marriage. But SKW is trying to run to the right of Cruz, and that takes some doing. Constitutional amendments against certain kinds of families? Sure! If it brings in the whack-a-doo religious freaks, why not? Oppose even LEGAL immigration? Sure, why not, it will get him the "Git 'Er Done" and "Duck Dynasty" demographic.

Scott Kevin Walker is an empty vessel who wants or cares about nothing other than that HE gets to be PRESIDENT. Just like Ronald Reagan. President Scott Kevin Ronald Reagan Walker.

Eff him.
