http://www.politico.com/story/2012/12/gop-mute-as-supreme-court-tackles-gay-marriage-84883.html?hp=t1House Republican leaders had a uniform response to the Supreme Court’s decision to take up gay marriage: silence.The high court’s decision last week to hear two cases relating to same-sex marriage puts that issue at the center of the national debate. And it does so at an exceedingly awkward time for Republicans, many of whom are trying to downplay or moderate their party’s views on social issues to chart a path back to electoral success.
i think it's more so they don't know if their stacked court is any longer in their anti gay corner. where's that right wing arrogance now?
The timing is most uncomfortable for House Republicans, who are playing a key role in one of the cases the court agreed to hear.
In June, the House of Representatives told the Supreme Court that the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act “is an issue of great national importance” that urgently requires the justices’ attention. The 1996 law denies federal benefits to same-sex married couples.
But when the court agreed on Friday to hear one of the DOMA cases early next year, the Republican leadership had nothing to say about it.
i love the fact they can no longer steam roll our rights and know the court will uphold them kinda like their "uncertainty" is real after all just not on who they've been saying it was.
