Mitch McConnell told a news station that the courts have spoken and gay marriage is now the law of the land…and there’s nothing Congress can do about:
NEWSMAX – In an interview Tuesday night on Kentucky television station WDRB, McConnell restated that he still holds to the traditional view of marriage.
“I’ve always felt that marriage is between one man and one woman and the Supreme Court has held otherwise. That’s the law of the land,” the Kentucky Republican said.
When he was asked if there is anything Congress can do, he answered: “I don’t think so. I think the courts have pretty well spoken.”
However, McConnell said he is now concerned about “the potential problems with regard to religious liberty.”
“There are number of institutions, which in practicing their religion, may run up against this,” which he predicts will result “in a lot of additional litigation, as this decision is weighed against the strongly held religious beliefs of a number of Americans.”
The Senate leader said that lawmakers will be looking to see “if religious liberty needs to be enhanced by statute.
Ugh. The old geezer is not interested in fighting one bit. He’s only interested in serving as many of the rest of his days as Senate Majority leader. So it doesn’t matter what he says about traditional marriage, for all intents and purposes, he’s okay with gay marriage being the law of the land.
