McCrory has defined going along with gay marriage as upholding the Constitution even before the official Supreme Court ruling.
He worked for Duke Power, I believe. Still does.
Huh???? His position makes no sense. A marriage Partnership agreement cannot be entered into for the purposes of committing a crime(sodomy). Uphold the law governor and knock off the PC liberal nonsense doubletalk!
Sounds like he’s ready to offend, not defend the Constitution.
This is a major socon litmus test. It looks like Governor McCrory just failed it.
No more “lesser evils”
ever!
From a related thread …
The states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay marriage. So with all due respect to Gov. McCrory, he is unthinkingly (PC mode?) violating Section 1 of the 14th Amendment by using constitutionally unprotected gay marriage to trump constitutionally enumerated religious expression, Section 1 prohibiting the states from doing such things.
Candidates for public office shouldn’t be regarded as official candidates until they pass a basic constitutinal law test, such a test at least emphasizing constitutionally enumerated rights versus constitutionally unprotected, vote-winning PC rights.
This has been a pretty depressing week when it comes to the homosexual issue. Ireland’s vote, Texas’ failure to pass its own bill to defund the process of “marrying” these couples, and now McCrory caving-in while using the coded language of the enemy.
And aside from Cruz and maybe an unimpressive murmur from one or two other candidates, we’re not seeing much reaction from Republicans. It’s like one side is putting everything it has into fighting this war, while we’ve layed down our arms.
The GOP again telegraphing Christians are unwelcome in the Party.
Hogwash. "Gay marriage" makes the fulfillment of every single clause of the stated purposes of the U.S. Constitution impossible.
And laws or court opinions that violate the laws of nature and nature's God and/or the Constitution are null and void.
Like most Republican "leaders" now this governor is an ignoramus and an oathbreaker.
Hat's off to the state Senate for showing they haven't been entirely emasculated, but the Governor? I've never been quite certain there's anyone home. The porch flickers and the lawn gets mowed, but no one has ever actually seen anyone mowing. It's a mystery.
McCrory might just as well be a NASCAR vehicle, all festooned with corporate logos, soft-drink and liquor executives, real estate lobbyists, etc., but no engine and no driver except the cheapest kind of Middle School political correctness.
Not very impressive, to say the least. You know McCrory would love to have taken a pass on this, but instead of offering up a solution, something in accord with compelling state interests, something more bold like defending the 9th and 10 Amendments, now he's counting on the regular bunch of Leftist Looters and Social Justice Warriors to shout the rest of us down.
Not going to happen.
He can probably count on having troublesome opposition in a primary next time around, at the very least. Because those same shouters who will call him brave today will be stuffing ballots for the Democrats, as anyone would expect, when re-election rolls around.
If that is his excuse he don’t belong in any office under said the same Constitution, as such a govern is clearly a threat to any WRITTEN Constitution of Civil government, when he claims to act in it’s name on matters named not even once in its text.
He might as well be doing it because some random stranger told him so, to hell with the text of the law.
