Mike Huckabee At “Death To Gays” Convention: As President I Will Ignore Obergefell [VIDEO]

This morning Mike Huckabee spoke at the “religious liberty” convention organized and hosted by Pastor Kevin Swanson, who has called for executing gay people because Jesus. (As have at least two other speakers scheduled to appear.) Right Wing Watch has the transcript from the clip below:

“Here’s what the president should do, and if I were president this is what I would do,” he said. “On the same-sex marriage decision, I would simply say, ‘It is not law.’ It is not law because the people’s elected representatives have not made it law and there is nothing in the Constitution that gives the Supreme Court power to make a law. They are the Supreme Court, they are not the supreme branch or the Supreme Being.”

“And so,” he added, “when people say, ‘What can we do? Let’s introduce a constitutional amendment, let’s propose a — .’ No. Let’s just exhibit and exercise the power that is already within the constitutional authority and structure and the president simply say, ‘Thank you for your opinion, but we shall ignore it because there’s nothing in the Constitution that affirms that and we are not going to impose upon all 50 states something that the federal government has no control over, which is the definition of marriage.’”

Right Wing Watch also has a lengthy list of Swanson’s vile comments.
