Rick Santorum hit Rick Perry Friday for his ignorance of Lawrence v. Texas, the Supreme Court case which struck down Texas’s anti-sodomy statute, reports The Hill. “Rulings like Lawrence v. Texas would be a good thing to know if you are running for president,” Santorum said, according to NBC News’ Andrew Rafferty.
As TPM reported yesterday, Perry said he was unfamiliar with the case, which took place while he was governor, at an event in Iowa Thursday. Last year, Perry mentioned the case in his book, “Fed Up!”
