While opponents of same-sex marriage are vowing to fight on, former Gov. Jeb Bush sounds ready to move on as he considers a potential bid for president.
“We live in a democracy, and regardless of our disagreements, we have to respect the rule of law,” Bush said in a statement Monday. “I hope that we can also show respect for the good people on all sides of the gay and lesbian marriage issue — including couples making lifetime commitments to each other who are seeking greater legal protections and those of us who believe marriage is a sacrament and want to safeguard religious liberty.”

FReep You Jeb Bush (FUJB)!!
Next he’ll “move on” to polygamy and to lowering the age of consent.
whaddeesay?
called it “settled law”
Funny how the constitution is never “settled law” with these progressives.
Respecting the “rule of law” would be following, and enforcing, the laws (and the constitutional amendments) made by the People or their representatives.
Laying down for courts with no authority rendering lawless and increasingly crazy decisions is most certainly NOT the rule of law. It’s rule by lawyers, which is not the same thing at all.
The Governor of Florida is a coequal authority with his state courts, and as the only one who has taken an oath to faithfully execute the people’s laws is arguably superior to Article III courts, at least those established by Congress.
This is the time for open defiance, not AGAINST the rule of law but in recognition that defiance of immoral and unconstitutional orders IS the rule of law

there’s no mention of marriage IN the Constitution...the Declaration...or The Federalist Papers....
fabricated from raggedy cloth? yes ...”settled law”? Not Exactly.
No matter what Jeb says, I’m still noting voting for him.
This crap is just exactly why I am ready and willing to raise taxes on the wealthy country club GOP establishment as well as the liberal gentrys that run the Dem party.
We do? You mean we can't just ignore laws we don't like? Or shop for Federal judges who are sympathetic to our ideology and overturn lower court decisions, willy-nilly? Or justify lawlessness in the name of 'civil disobedience'?
Well, rats...
He’s an embarrassment and a sick joke.
That he would even have the audacity to think that the USA should have a father and two of his sons as President shows he has no respect for the Office.
Disgusting degenerate creep thinks he’s a Royal.
Leftists do not respect the “rule of law”. If the SCOTUS rules against them, they ignore it and find ways around it.
That’s for sure. Get out da bushes!
I’ll never vote for another Bush.
What a load of horse hockey pucks. WE must follow the rule of law while the perverts break any law they wish.
Jeb is well on his way to outdoing Dad and Brother in putziness.
You’re not alone. I used to be anti-tax all the way, but with all those corporate elites and rich Wall Street/country-club GOP donors, and what they’ve done to this country, pushing open-borders, amnesty and this fag-marriage depravity, and basically turning the whole damned country into a sewer, I’m FINE with taxing them until their eyes bleed. I want them crushed and destroyed... financially, mentally, and physically. Along with the degenerate candidates like Jebbie that they fund.
I am already ready to move on from Jeb Bush!
