Et tu, Rand?
Yo dude . . . Rand Paul had that to say . . . WTF, over.
Kevin Hall writing in The Iowa Republican asks that important question. His reference is to recent comments by Rand Paul regarding last week’s Supreme Court same sex marriage decisions. Extending the inquiry we wonder how a well grounded Constitutionalists would come up with the words of praise Rand Paul had for Justice Kennedy in his majority opinion. Is this another time where Rand Paul will have to “revise and extend” his remarks? Inquiring minds need to know.
Here are Kevin Hall’s comments. Paul’s comments were made in an ABC interview. Definitely not inspiring.
Paul said he agreed with Kennedy, whom he called “someone who doesn’t just want to be in front of opinion but wants government to keep up with opinion.” He said Kennedy “tried to strike a balance.”
Paul also said the ruling was “appropriate” and Republicans need to “agree to disagree” on the issue … Paulistinians will argue that Rand, and the Supreme Court, are taking the states’ rights side of this issue. I disagree …
The Supreme Court just ruled that the federal government must recognize gay marriages and provide tax benefits to those couples. That is hardly an argument in favor of states’ rights, especially considering the court also refused to defend the rights of the eight million Californians who voted against gay marriage with Prop 8 … Plus, the next legal battle will be to overturn the gay marriage bans in all the states. Last week’s rulings will make that effort easier …
