Rick Santorum argues US Supreme Court marriage right case is based on a \u2018whim\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum added his voice to the loud chorus of critics blasting the Supreme Court for making same-sex<\/a> marriage legal in all 50 states.<\/p>\n

Today, 5 July, the longtime LGBTI equality foe was a guest on the CBS News show Face the Nation<\/a>. He repeated claim that has been said by others when denouncing the 5-4 decision: the US can no longer call<\/a> itself a democracy.<\/p>\n

‘And what the court did here as Justice Roberts said, was — there’s no constitutional basis for what they did,’ the Republican said to the show’s host.<\/p>\n

‘They simply just acted out of, as one said, a whim. That’s not how a democracy functions. That’s not how a republic functions.’<\/p>\n

He then argued Obergefell v. Hodges <\/a>will end freedom of religion.<\/p>\n

‘There’s an assault on religious liberty here,’ Santorum insisted. ‘The court basically said, no, churches, you’re allowed to teach what you want but it really didn’t say you’re allowed to practice what you want.’<\/p>\n

Pennsylvania’s  former senator eventually pulled his lens back farther, making larger points about culture, family, and marriage.<\/p>\n

‘I talked a lot about the breakdown of the institution of marriage, the role that fathers need to play, that 96 percent of Americans are in those types of traditional homes. That is the bigger problem.’<\/p>\n

Below is a clip of the interview:<\/p>\n
