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......

Walker is as sleazy as they come.



Also see what what he says about abortion and contraception. He Dodges the question on Women's rights

1. Pandering to the lunatic fringe haters on the right.

Squatty Wanker is a quivering blob of santorum.

I am forever psychologically scarred from your post.

[unionthug777]

18. nice.

I prefer to call him a wretched pool of oily anal discharge. which is, for me, being nice.

[notadmblnd]

2. Scott Walker should hold his breath until it happens.

[Arugula Latte]

3. Yeah, good luck with that, Dumbass.

[Thinkingabout]

4. I can see it now, there will be a rush, a rush in a different direction.

Does the RW ever listen and hear what is going on around them or do they just listen to FOX and Rush. I wonder if we could get a Constitutional amendment against people like Scott Walker.

Yes, if they can get this crap going then it will be contraception, abortion and other issues they want to cram down our throats. Yes, we need to take our country back.

[Fearless]

5. Good luck with that!

[Omaha Steve]

6. He has been to a gay wedding!

Hypocrite.

[hollysmom]

8. has he finally made everyone an enemy except the Kochs?

Please let people open their eyes and see the crook for what he is, an enemy of the people.

[murielm99]

21. He is waiting for the Kochs to tell him

what to say. He can't stick with any position until they do that.

[Initech]

24. He's quickly becoming Mr. Burns from the "Who Shot Mr. Burns" episode.

[Thespian2]

9. Walker is

a KOCH-sucker, who never held a job outside of politics...after quitting his university...

[Politicalboi]

10. Then the state should pay for gays to move to a safe state

Deprive us from living our lives to the fullest, then the state should pay us to move to a safe state if we want too.

[Buzz Clik]

11. This man would be so proud:

[msongs]

12. thank you scott walker thank you scott walker. thanks for sharing who you really are :-) nt

14. "Walker is as sleazy as they come." To quote Yoda, There is another.

22. Please warn us before

putting that face on here.

30. Let just call them two slimy sleazy peas in a pod

[sakabatou]

15. GAH!

[onehandle]

16. Presidenty. nt

[old guy]

19. Just one more among the many reasons he will never be President.

[CatholicEdHead]

20. Just red meat for the primary base

There is no chance for a federal constitutional amendment to pass under the current conditions. There are not 2/3rds of votes in both the House and Senate much less 3/4 of states.

[roamer65]

23. You don't have enough states for ratification, dumbass.

Nor do you have 2/3 of each house of Congress.

[Jim Lane]

26. I'm guessing he knows that.

The purpose is not to effect an actual change in the Constitution. The purpose is to posture to the base.

He'll talk about this during the primaries. Then, if he wins the nomination, for purposes of the general-election campaign he'll suddenly discover that the President neither signs nor vetoes amendments. On that basis he'll deflect questions about it, and even imply that the questioner is trying to divert attention from the real issues.

[asiliveandbreathe]

25. This sleezzzzzzball

will say anything to the nutties...they don't know any better...dumbasses....seriously, do they really think they can win nationally with this BS....

[Geronimoe]

27. A better idea

Perhaps it is a better idea if Walker runs for leadership of the Taliban as he seems to holds similar fundamentalist beliefs.

I would feel compansion for suffering Wisconsinites, had they not re-elected the Koch puppet in the re-call election.

[SoapBox]

28. Just ban the Terrorist Walker...done.

31. Walker takes giant step backwards

in an effort to seduce ignorant base

[dembotoz]

32. bigots get their candidate

[ut oh]

33. Walker:

Let's enshrine bigotry in the constitution.....
Then next we can work on restarting slavery... we're almost there in some ways anyway...

[Myrina]

34. I'm surprised the Kochs let him have an opinion on this ...

.... are they just angling for loony votes, or are they phobes too?
