The other side already used the “nuclear option,” and we’re all still here.
(CNN)Scott Walker said same-sex marriage proponents should respect the religious opinions of those who disapprove of same-sex couples having the right to legally wed.
Speaking in Denver at the Western Conservatives Summit on Saturday, the Wisconsin governor spelled out his criteria for judges and weighed in on the religious liberty debate.
“To me, it is not freedom from religion, it is freedom of religion, which ultimately means we have the right to practice our religious beliefs and not have others interfere,” he said in an onstage interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
“We should respect the opinions of others in America, but that in return means that they not only respect our opinions, they respect what is written in the Constitution,” he said.....”

Walker and Cruz leading on Obama Care repeal....the main reason they are my top two choices.
(there are other reasons of course)
.Doesn't anyone remember this bill was an attachment and not a stand alone and can be repealed with 51 votes, and all it takes is a POTUS to sign off on that Senate Vote?
That is however divorced from what Rush said Friday how Roberts fubard it and etched it in stone and it will need Congressional removal. I need to think about that one....
Unless you are going to promote what you are going to replace it with.
In this case, it would be with Health Savings Accounts and Medical Savings Accounts.
Acknowledge that RuBama will veto it but you'll sign it.
You can tell people that if they like their RuBamaDon'tCare, they can keep their RuBamaDon'tCare.
Dammit. Do I have to think of Everything?
TALK IS CHEAP!!!
Better be careful praising anyone but Cruz. You’ll be harassed and stalked.
Thanks for posting...I do support Cruz but Walker is right up there. I may even give to Walker too. Your informative post is appreciated.
Invoking the Reid Rule to abolish the filibuster right now would be futile because we cannot over ride Obama’s veto.
If the next president is a Republican and we hold onto the Senate then the first order of business for the new Senate should absolutely be to abolish the filibuster.
The second order of business must then be to steamroll the Democrats and undo everything that Obama and the Democrats have done since 2006.
Scott Walker opines on the filabuster.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Forget fixing it or replacing it just repeal it and let the chips fall where they may. Just get the IRS out of my doctors visit.
The Congressional Republicans may eventually get around to submitting a bill to the POTUS repealing Obamacare as a bone to the conservative base. They know Obama will veto it and they don’t have the votes to override a veto. They’ll tell the base “we tried” and go back to dealmaking.
The only way to defeat Obamacare is to defund it. Without funding it dies. The GOP has been in a position to defund it since January 2011. The fact they choose to continue funding it shows they are not serious.
What will this accomplish, Obama will veto it, 67 votes are needed to override a veto. It will have been nothing more than an easy political victory for Obama. He is a lame duck, lets not breathe slightly less stale air into his lungs.
Once again, Scott Walker shows his ignorance.
Unless Scott Walker wants to run for the Senate and become Senate Majority Leader, he is talking out his rear end.
Good quote. Yes. Absolutely. Period.
