Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich don't seem to agree on much these days as they slug it out for the Republican nomination for president.
But one thing the did agree on Tuesday was that the The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overstepped when it upheld a lower court's ruling that California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriages is unconstitutional.
'Court of Appeals overturning CA's Prop 8 another example of an out of control judiciary. Let's end judicial supremacy,' Gingrich wrote on Twitter.
Romney said the case is about 'preserving values' in a statement to the Washington Post.
'Today, unelected judges cast aside the will of the people of California who voted to protect traditional marriage,' Romney stated. 'This decision does not end this fight, and I expect it to go to the Supreme Court.'
He added: 'I believe marriage is between a man and a woman and, as president, I will protect traditional marriage and appoint judges who interpret the Constitution as it is written and not according to their own politics and prejudices.'
Update: Romney and Gingrich's rival for the Republican nomination, Rick Santorum, tweeted his displeasure with the ruling: '7M Californians had their rights stripped away today by activist 9th Circuit judges. As president I will work to protect marriage.'
President Barack Obama had no official reaction to the court ruling.
'I don’t have a comment on litigation in general and in this litigation to which we are not a party,' White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters. 'Beyond that, I can say that the President has long opposed, as you know, divisive and discriminatory efforts to deny rights and benefits to same-sex couples.'

But, I agree no problems with same sex marriage.. Sure they are against it, how could they say anything else.
These people whom call themselves conservative have so much dirty laundry they have to d-focus from the reality of the transgressions an desires that lie within themselves. One does not have to look far to see the hypocrisy and pretense of having a virtuous character, moral and religious beliefs or principles
Truth, honesty is a commodity that is sorely lacking in today's American politics and news reporting, or should I say entertainment news.

An the list could go on an on.
Conservative Republican's are for...complete dominion over all living things.
and they are against...anything that is for the good of man kind.
Enough rambling before I really get on the soap box, I cannot express my rage over the events taking place.

The funny thing to me is all these candidates including Santorum when pushed say that they have many gay friends and colleagues who are fine people and good workers. They say it is just to preserve the institution of marriage. Institution?!?!?! Families are institutions? Where do we have to sign up for this "institution" Do we all belong to this institution? Where are the rules? When I hear this word used I usually think of a mental ward with white walls and padded rooms, which is where I personally believe these guys belong. I have news for them, slavery was an institution too that once was to be preserved. The white male vote used to be an institution.
Why were these institutions overturned and corrected? Simple.. civil rights and equality for all citizens and a little thing called the declaration of independece. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." I know they said men.. but there are enough laws now to legally prove men includes women beyond a shadow of doubt.
Let's be clear, they are no "friends" of any LGBT agenda and are simply openly trashing our civil rights and then lying saying they aren't. All of them are bigots and any good debater can prove it. Welcome to their institution of bigotory!! Grrrr i need a relaxing bubble bath now. xx J
