Inhofe: Lots of my gay friends think the ‘liberal’ Supreme Court blew it on gay marriage.

Republican senator from Oklahoma, who one brought a snowball onto the Senate floor to disprove climate change, expressed his dismay with the Supreme Court clearing the path for same sex marriages nationwide, adding he has friends in the gay community who agree with him.

Sen. James Inhofe (R) told KJRH that the U.S. Supreme Court is “A very liberal court and we saw what happened last week,” referring to an earlier court decision allowing the Affordable Care Act to continue forward.

Adding, “They haven’t ruled right on anything in a long time,” Inhofe turned to Friday’s landmark decision making same sex marriage the law of the land, saying he has gay friends who agreed with him that it was decided improperly.

“I’ve been disappointed, and I was not surprised. I thought they would rule the way they did. I know a lot of people, actually a lot of people who are friends of mine in the gay community, who also think it was a bad decision,” he explained.

would be forced to produce them.

I bet that they usually don't exist. Also, having an acquaintance that you see shopping or at work does not count as a 'friend'.

He has imaginary friends who agree with him on everything. That story has a snowball's chance in Hell of ever being believable.

To marry her. That kind of friend. The kind you politely hope isn't going to use your toilet.

And if anyone could let us all know what's so advantageous about being a closeted gay Republican, I'd appreciate it if you'd let tell us.

on anything in long time."

Translation: My party only likes it when they rule

in favor of corporations.

Your gay friends (if you have any) are not required to

get married.
