Gingrich: Prop 8 Ruling Is An Assault On Our ‘Judeo-Christian Foundations’

Like Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich issued a statement Tuesday slamming the 9th Circuit’s ruling that California’s Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in the state, is unconstitutional. Gingrich has previously called for the more liberal 9th Circuit Appeals Court to be abolished.                       

With today’s decision on marriage by the Ninth Circuit, and the likely appeal to the Supreme Court, more and more Americans are being exposed to the radical overreach of federal judges and their continued assault on the Judeo-Christian foundations of the United States….

 

Should the Supreme Court fail to heed the disastrous lessons if its own history and attempt to impose its will on the marriage debate in this country by affirming today’s Ninth Circuit decision, it will bear the burden of igniting a constitutional crisis of the first order.
