Why is it that whenever some politician claims to know the will of God, 99% of the time they're a conservative Republican? The arrogance of these people is stunning.

There would probably have to be a statute in the state, similar to this one. https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/?id=363a.17

Oh look, ability to create a civil union isn't enough, now they want vindication and to persecute the heterosexual. The cycle starts all over again.

Classic politician being petty. Because "God's law" is how the United States of America is run.

While this Metcalf guy strikes me as the Christian version of those Muslims that push for Sharia law, the little bits in that article appear to be Metcalf making correct use of PA House procedure for, IMO, the wrong reasons.
Well, there probably isn't free speech allowed on the House floor within PA. If theirs is set up similar to those in other states, or the US House of Reps, anything said on the floor requires a process.

Even then, as much as one person's free speech is protected by the 1st amendment, his speech is protected from being trumped by the 9th amendment.

Kindly post some instances of this nonsense you write about in your comments above.

I'd love to see one. I'm giving 20-1 that he can't find any.

Yes, because that was clearly meant to persecute heterosexuals, and not because he wanted to reprimand the representative who prevented him from speaking.

Re: Just what IS "marriage" anyway?
To be fair, it does appear that the <s>sore loser</s> representative followed the proper procedues, so I don't see any cause for an official reprimand. Public scorn and ridicule, on the other hand would be entirely appropriate....

His constituency giving him the boot for his poutrage in 2014 would be better.

He's just a hustler, but some people will be moronic enough to believe that shtick. Thankfully, those people either live in the deep woods or are holed up in homes filled with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and gopher memorabilia.

Re: Just what IS "marriage" anyway?
I really wonder how someone could be sane and yet still dedicate their lives to that kind of thing. Just because they're making money doesn't mean they don't believe it.
Re: Just what IS "marriage" anyway?
Yeah, I don't know what's worse, assuming he knows it's idiocy and does it for money, or accepting that he really believes it. I suspect the truth is that he believes in a dogma and will say anything to advance it, so he does believe, after a fashion. But man, it scares me to think that pitch could convince anyone who does not already believe. Discerning thinkers are certainly not the audience he speaks to.

Am I glad I normally have you on ignore; is the automatic starting of the film necessary?
