How does marriage equality impact Governor Huckabee’s own marriage or the marriages of anyone elses?

"...they said very clearly that they want to affirm the laws of nature..."
There is nothing more natural than being gay. It is evident throughout the animal kingdom.
The premise that the only “natural” relationship is heterosexual because of reproduction and the configuration of genitalia is ludicrous and flies in the face of everything we know about behavior, human and animal alike (as if there is a difference, which I do not concede.)
But being an ignorant fascist overwhelmed by superstition, it’s just far too much to ask for you and your similar-minded bigot pals to accept that reality. Science? That’s something for atheists with a political agenda.

I think it comes down to a basic belief that his happiness depends on the unhappiness of others. If “those people” are also allowed to enjoy the benefits of being married, then those benefits are devalued for him. That seems to be the basic psychology that is operating here–a deeply selfish, us against them view of reality.

Which type of Biblical marriage are you defending, Hucky?

“How do we accept something that is – on it’s face – unconstitutional? Has the Congress yet acted?” Huckabee responded."
Ol’ Huckabee is conveniently forgetting what is carved in stone at the Supreme Court:
The words are taken from amendment 14 section 1. Poor Huck is responding like a bigot.

I would only offer this slight shading on that unassailable truth. I’m not so sure he relishes the unhappiness of others as much as he’s depending on government sanction to reaffirm his bigotry.
The minute government stops giving him the justification for being an ignorant prick that he so desperately craves, that government is evil in his mind.
It calls into question his position. That drives him bonkers.

This would also apply to what Justice Roberts commented about yesterday when je said that (I’m paraphrasing).“All marriages thru all of history were traditional”. Meaning one man +one woman. Obvilusly both Roberts and Huckabee are full of poop.

Sorry Huck. If the Supreme Court says so, its constitutional. That is what the Constitutions says.

It wouldn’t matter if all animals had gay members of the team. Marriage is not a law of nature. It is a legal contract first and a spiritual contract second. There is no reason why anyone should be prevented from doing that because someone else has a problem with it. It’s their problem, not the two people who want to marry.

Huckabee is a Republican. Hurting people is their raison d’etre.

The bigger news would seem to be the shift at Faux Not Really News. They are beginning, however slightly, to call out the wingnuts.

Whatever a candidate’s positions, on some level, a human level, a candidate has to be likeable. Huckabee is not likeable.

But Kelly was undeterred, laying into the GOPer: “It’s the Supreme Court’s job to interpret the Constitution and tell us what it means. And like it or not, they get the final say unless the people decide to pass a Constitutional amendment.”
“Glad you brought that up, that’s the whole point, the people do have a right to say, and (blah blah blah), "said Huckabee.
No, Huckster. That is not what she said. She said the COURT is the final interpreter of the Constitution. Those people who object have recourse by working towards a constitutional amendment. The “people” to which you refer have no “say” because one of the functions of the Court is to protect a minority from tyranny by the majority.
