Axios reports:
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday he believes recognition of same-sex marriage marriage should be decided on a state-by-state basis and not by the federal government.
Graham said he believe the Supreme Court’s 2015 decision to legalize same-sex marriage would not be overturned, but that doing so “would be up to the court.”
“I think states should decide the issue of marriage and states should decide the issue of abortion,” Graham said. “I have respect for South Carolina. South Carolina voters here I trust to define marriage and to deal with the issue of abortion. Not nine people on the court. That’s my view.”
