I'm pleased with the comment as far as it goes, but it doesn't go much farther than "I'm deeply saddened."
I heard a report today that the President will continue to talk about the sanctity of marriage, but will not take any more direct action due to the upcoming election. I'm not sure I believe that, but I would really like to see the direct action. A call for impeachment of judges who attempt to do the legislature's job would be very valuable, IMHO.
Shalom.
He most certainly will "continue" to talk about the sanctity of marriage. You say that as if this statement is the first, though. That is completely incorrect. The president has been addressing this frequently and most recently in the biggest bully pulpit available to a president: his State of the Union Address.
Now, the president has decried "activist judges". He cannot personally impeach the judges. He's denouncing them, but I'm afraid you'll have to hold somebody else accountable for not proceeding. Having sent the message that he does not consider these judges to be performing as they ought, and as they continue their reckless rulings, he has advocated a course that may be needed to resolve the issue for the whole country: A constitutional amendment that states marriage is between one man and one woman.
He has taken this up as his course BEFORE this ruling came down yesterday.
