US Senator Scott Brown, an opponent of gay marriage when he was in the Massachusetts Legislature, said in a statement today that gay marriage is “settled law” in Massachusetts and should be decided by the states instead of the federal government. Brown’s leading Democratic opponent, Elizabeth Warren, has been courting the gay and lesbian community by advocating aggressively in favor of gay marriage. In March, Warren told the Washington Blade, a gay newspaper, that President Obama should complete what he had previously characterized as an “evolving” opinion on the subject.

Ah, now we have it... The Pander-in-Chief evolved with a pants kick from the Massachusetts 1/32 representative of the Cherokee Nation... Can't we all imagine Lizzy in the Senate... calling Barry the O to advise him on dis and dat?

It needs to be determined by the Federal Government if gay marriage is determined to be protected by the Bill of Rights, Mr. Brown. This is not just a state issue.
Scott Brown claims that "this is settled law and everyone has moved on"! Really? Did he tell his fellow Republicans who want to outlaw gay marriage and overturn the repeal of DOMA? What a tool! Just another issue where Brown and most of the Republicans are on the wrong side of history. One day we'll look back on this and laugh...
