Pat Robertson Says, Don’t Worry - Gay Marriage Is Still Illegal
Thousand year-old religious right crocodile Pat Robertson has been spreading all sorts of fanatical falsehoods about marriage equality, saying it will lead to bestiality, the collapse of the financial system, plagues, pestilence and God’s wrath, but now he has a new talking point — he’s claiming that despite the Supreme Court’s ruling, gay marriage is still illegal!
(Guys like Robertson are professionals at denying objective reality.)
“In the legal system, party A sues party B over marriage, ‘I want to get married to them,’ and the court says, ‘Okay, you can get married,’” he explained. “That doesn’t mean that I’ve got to get married to homosexuals, it doesn’t mean that you have to nor does it mean that it’s the law of the land. Congress didn’t pass any law. Your state legislature didn’t pass a law. So you’re not under anything, it’s a decision of the court having to do with a couple of people. Now they would like to make it bigger than that but, in terms of the Constitution, it isn’t.”
