Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) on Friday condemned the Supreme Court ruling that legalized same-sex marriage across the U.S.
Today, 5 unelected judges redefined the foundational unit of society. Now it is the people’s turn to speak #Marriage

“Today, five unelected judges decided to redefine the foundational unit that binds together our society without public debate or input,” he said in a statement.
The presidential candidate noted that the Supreme Court has an “imperfect track record.”
“The Court is one of three co-equal branches of government and, just as they have in cases from Dred Scott to Plessy, the Court has an imperfect track record. The stakes are too high and the issue too important to simply cede the will of the people to five unaccountable justices,” he wrote.
Santorum pledged to still fight against gay marriage.
“But leaders don’t accept bad decisions that they believe harm the country, they have the courage of their convictions and lead the country down the better path. Marriage, the family and our children are too central to a healthy society to not fight for what is best,” he said in the statement.
Foundational Unit?
That sounds sooooooo dirty.
How exactly does this decision harm the country, other than the fact that you think it is icky?
Why not just say “I hate the Constitution almost as much as I hate America,” Foamy?
I suspect his unit is more of a crawlspace than a foundation.
“Santorum pledged to still fight against gay marriage.”
