Although a Utah court has ruled that same-sex marriages can proceed in the state, one politician there is taking it upon himself to try to stop them.
Trestin Meacham, who once ran for a state senate seat as a member of Utah’s extremist Constitution Party, is now drawing attention to himself by saying he will not eat until Utah’s legislature willingly disobeys the federal government by reinstating its ban on same-sex marriages.“I cannot stand by and do nothing while this evil takes root in my home,” Meachamwrote in a blog post, adding, “It is time for the State to stop wasting time. Our so-called conservative lawmakers need to show some courage and stand against this judicial tyranny. They need to exert the will of the people.”Meacham says he has not eaten since December 21st, and has lost 25 pounds. He will only begin eating again, he insists, once the state legislature nullifies federal law and passes another ban on same-sex marriages.
republicans seem to be confused as to what they have to obey and what they don't, this in the middle of their claims Pres. broke the rules by not going to the do thing congress to implement change that makes it easier for Americans to get enrolled in ACA, and more time to get their stuff in order. that shows ytou they are not concerned with you being able to join especially after spending 5 years trying to dissuade you from it.
if he is indeed fasting he should realize what his party is trying to do, take food stamps that feed millions of children who can't turn it off and get something to eat or at some point when this PR play runs it's course he can go have a steak dinner they can't we will see if he learned anything about empathy or is he still a republican at heart and gives less than gnat crap about those kids and their families.
