Ok, this is a very long interview with many topics discussed but about 8:00 to 8:15 Newt explains his new position that he thinks DOMA should be repealed : “Republican must face the human circumstances of SS marriage in 9 states and what those married couples must face when visiting the other (41) states where its not legal”

Newt "evolves" on gay marriage (FNC Greta Jan 9, 2013)

This was the hero who was going to save us (not me, only the fools) from Romney.

i have never understood how anyone thinks a statute like doma can trump the full faith and credit clause of the constitution - i think it was known by all that it would fall when it reached the scotus - doma was a fake that let both clinton and the gop off the hook on an uncomfortable issue

and of course obama directed the doj to not even TRY to defend it

newt is about as faithful to his principles as he is to he wives

-->>;Republican must face the human circumstances of SS marriage in 9 states and what those married couples must face when visiting the other (41) states where its not legal”

So... what do you do, those states voted for it. The best step is to work in the majority of the other states to have them not do this. He also said this has made a huge issue in society and the country of how to deal with this. It is not an easy issue. Listen to what he is saying. It has caused problems already to where now they have to fit this into that law. He even said it was a mess. He did not write those laws in those states. I see people are against GM but you have to see the entire picture as he is saying. He said the right thing and said he thought traditional marriage was the proper role of marriage.

greengrinches words...

states *rights* vs DOMA vs [full faith and credit in] the Constitution ???

all other issues aside, the US Constitution *should* trump, but usually hasnt, especially in the 2A dept...

but back to the thread and noots own words...essentially 'they' *won* and the rest of us need to just git with the program and take the issue off the table...???

conservative champion, that guy...

DOMA essentially keeps the fed, as in the IRS, from accepting the sodomy lobby...puffers and packers are free to enjoy their 9 states and leave the rest of us alone, but they wont...

political expediency-wise, we're screwed, and will eventually have to asset those long diminished 2A Rights...you know, the ones actually included and codified in the Constitution...

everything else is greengrinch feathering his nest...
