Santorum: ‘I would overturn’ any Supreme Court ruling same-sex marriage legal
GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum said Sunday morning he would try to overturn any Supreme Court decision in favor of same-sex marriage if he became president.
Santorum was asked by Meet The Press host David Gregory about the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals finding Proposition 8 unconstitutional and whether he would seek any change if the highest court ruled in favor of the LGBT community.
“I would do the same thing I would with Roe v Wade, which I would seek to try and overturn it,” he said. “I think judicial tyranny is a serious issue in this race and this country. And we need judges who respect the people’s voice. Let the people decide with respect to what the constitution says, if in fact they would go through a constitutional amendment process.”
Unfortunately for Rick, there’s this thing called the separation of powers. The President can’t overturn a Supreme Court decision

Can’t overturn a SCOTUS decision, no. But *can* stack the court with more conservatives if he gets one or two terms. Ginsburg ain’t gonna live forever, unfortunately…
