Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said in an interview with CNN Wednesday that if the Supreme Court eventually rules that same-sex marriage is constitutional, Americans would have to abide by that ruling.
"I wouldn't agree with their ruling, but that would be the law of the land that we would have to follow until it's somehow reversed — either by a future Supreme Court, or a U.S. constitutional amendment, which I don't think is realistic or foreseeable," he said.
He said he expects the question "is ultimately going to find its way to the U.S. Supreme court," noting that many federal courts have recently issued rulings overturning state bans on gay marriage. Indeed, many court watchers expect the Supreme Court to take up a case on that very issue this month, and potentially deliver a ruling this Spring.
That prospect, and the end of Florida's same-sex marriage ban this week, have brought the issue back into the national spotlight and sparked a fresh debate within the Republican Party over gay marriage, which the party's social conservative base staunchly opposes....

This is what GOP freepers help empower with their continued support of the party..
Way past the time to start impeaching judges...
FUMR.
Applies to Mitt Romney. And also applies to Marco Rubio.
Ah, more “law of the land” bullshit from another Uniparty RINO
1,040....
Rubio and Jeb are the very definition of “sell-outs”
Iowa got rid of their judges who tried to ram queer “marriage” down the State’s throats.
The U.S. can too.
Abuse of power is reasonable for impeachment. When you change the meaning of a word and call it a civil right against the will of the people and the Congress, that’s abuse.
We tried telling people. And they still fight us daily.
My favorite TRAITOR QUOTE of the day, is Ms. Love on why she voted for Boehner....
LMAO!!
Rube must have a frog in his pocket.
Idiot.
I have my rights as well...and that is if I don't want to acknowledge certain individuals I don't have to and won't.
If you sit next to me ..I'll move and care less if your offended....if you speak to me I don't have to acknowledge you and I won't.
No law is going to take from me my right to choose who I associate with and or acknowlege.
And sensitivity training is for the birds who implemented it.
Today has been a rough day for us: )
If not impeachment, then IGNORE the SOB’s.
Obama issues a unilateral Executive Order harming my state? Some black robed thug makes a ruling for queer marriages in opposition to the majority of voters who DO NOT WANT faggots getting married?
Eff em.
We need governors and state Attorney Generals to stand up and defy the illegal actions of Obammie and the leftist courts.
I can imagine. My favorite traitor quote is “We have to elect Republicans No matter WHAT.”
This is the “What” they skip telling you.
I know. We are about to commit a mathematical impossibility. We already beat everyone up to and including Nostradamus.
“I wouldn’t agree with their ruling, but that would be the law of the land that we would have to follow” …Imagine if the men we know today as the Founding Fathers thought like this or spoke like this in public. Rubio instead is just fine with telling people that they “have to follow” unconstitutional and unjust judicial decrees (not even laws!) that go against their conscience.
